Bring back Latin as a compulsory subject for the UK school syllabus!

by: Gabrielle B
recipient: Rt Hon Justine Greening

Latin, as a language, threads it's way through many others around the globe. Examining the etymology of the English language it can be found that Latin is interwoven through Botanical nomenclature, medical terminology, and law. By omitting Latin from the compulsory education syllabus we are creating an even more elitist and mindless society. Relevant knowledge should be accessible and free for all. Let's empower ourselves and future generations!
