Petition Teaching of Latin and Classical Civilisation in schools

More details

The study of Classical Civilisation, Latin and Ancient Greek has been shown to improve standards across other subjects in pupils. The pursuit of Classical subjects also fosters an appreciation of philosophy, politics, histroy, drama, religion and language structure.

The government should aim to install the teaching of Classical Studies, even at a very rudimentary level, in schools to improve the breadth of education provided and also to dispel the elitist tag that it has been unfairly given.
