Latin set for schools comeback - Katherine Sellgren, BBC News
Did Julius Caesar prove a turn-off for schoolchildren? Latin is being made available to thousands of pupils across the UK, even if there is no specialist teacher in their school. And gone are the days of wading through Julius Caesar's accounts of his Gallic wars. Pupils now get to read about the exploits of "wheeler-dealer" Caecilius who manages to offends his wife by buying the prettiest girl available at a slave market and Grumio the cook who is in and out of affairs. The Cambridge Online Latin Project, which has been tested by 2,000 pupils aged 12 and upwards over the past four years, is being rolled out nationally in September. It is hoped the e-learning course will go some way to reverse the downturn in the number of pupils learning about the ancient world.
