A 4 million pound (5.5 million dollar) Latin Excellence Programme will see the ancient language offered to 40 state schools in England as part of a four-year pilot, according to The Daily Telegraph.<\/p>\n

The paper said that staff at the selected schools will be trained and given resources to teach Latin to 11 to 16-year-olds.<\/p>\n

Mr Williamson said: \u00abWe know Latin has a reputation as an elitist subject which is only reserved for the privileged few.<\/p>\n

\u00abBut the subject can bring so many benefits to young people, so I want to put an end to that divide.<\/p>\n

\u00abThere should be no difference in what pupils learn at state schools and independent schools, which is why we have a relentless focus on raising school standards and ensuring all pupils study a broad, ambitious curriculum.\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
