Classics for All

We’ve published an open letter to Trinity Hall and Cambridge University calling for fair access to Classics. Talent isn’t limited to elite schools – Cambridge can lead the way in widening participation. Read the letter: tinyurl.com/4sam6rp4 @UniofCambridge @TrinityHallCamb

Thoroughly enjoying being at this event today. So many teaching takeaways and inspiration from teachers of all disciplines. @TTRadioOfficial

Looking forward to this tomorrow

@scope_views @ArmandDAngour @noah_nonsense Lots of great summer schools listed here: Summer Schools - The Classical Association | The Classical Association

@ArmandDAngour @noah_nonsense @classicsforall Why does no one mention UCL’s excellent Classics summer school which has Greek at all levels?

So.... no more Ancient Greek. Nobody's studying it in the schools any more. Horrific. spectator.com/article/the-de…

@ArmandDAngour @noah_nonsense thanks @ArmandDAngour - we do indeed have 3 academies (Liverpool, Cambridge and London) offering free Greek from beginners to A level for state school students and we support the fab Intermediate Greek Certificate, provide bursaries for teachers @JACTGreek & free training

Not quite true. 1-The brilliant @classicsforall has been teaching Greek in quite a few state schools thanks partly to the Leventis Foundation. 2-ab initio students taught by the active method learn very good Greek. One of mine got a Double First last year. 3-a handful of excellent linguists learn to write Greek verse (from me or Public Orator Jonathan Katz. Something few students ever did (well) in the past 50 years.
