UK: Latin isn't a dead language - it's resurgent
Two pieces of news have been passed on to me in recent days, both interesting on their own merits, but more so when considered together.
Firstly, a researcher at the University of Cambridge School Classics project has spent the last five months telephoning every single secondary school in the country, and has discovered that there are still 1,081 schools which offer Latin, 447 of them independent schools and 634 of them state schools. 58 more state schools are due to start offering the subject in September.
