[The Independent] "Latin should be taught in every state primary school"

Dennis Hayes / The Independent a écrit:Latin and Classics should be taught in every primary school and not limited to the middle and upper classes, a leading academic has said.

Professor Dennis Hayes, an expert from the University of Derby and Chair of the College of Education Research Committee, has warned that Latin and ancient Greek along with modern languages are in danger of becoming “the preserve of public schools”.

The revival of classic subjects within state schools would “transform education”, he has claimed, and urges state schools to do more in offering children a classical education.
