Le Latin, sujet délicat: Ceci n'est pas l'occasion d'un débat houleux sur le Latin, je vous soumets un extrait du 'The Times' où l'on voit que nos collègues et voisins ont aussi des soucis. (Du 2 avril 2005)

Latin could die out in shools within a decade because a multimillion-pound project to teach it online appears on the brink of collapse.
Three years after the Government invested £4.5 million in software by the media group Granada Learning, the programme has failed to materialise. The Departement for Education and Skills (DfES) insisted yesterday that it should be introduced shortly, but Cambridge University tutors who helped to design the project are sceptical of the claim and say that they have seen no sign of any completed software.
Classicists now fear that the technology needed for the multimedia project may never appear and that schools have lost the last chance to revive Latin.
In 1988, the first full year of GCSE examination and the start of the national curriculum, more than 16,000 pupils took Latin, of whom around half were state-educated. Since then, numbers have fallen, until 9,886 pupils took Latin in 2004, the first time that numbers have fallen below 10,000. Between 1965 and 2003, the number of students taking Latin A Level fell from 7,901 to 1,210. Greek entries fell from 1,322 to 246...
' ...If the software doesn't work, we have lost our chance to save Latin for the nation. We really cannot identify any other methods to rescue it' (Griffiths, director of 'the Schools Classic Project)'...
'...It's an excellent scheme because it gives the school and pupils opportunities they would not otherwise have had. None of us is qualified to teach Latin, but we have three cohorts who have completed it and gone on to to do GCSEs. We 're a very big school, so we have more ressources than many, but we would probably have to ask parents for contributions to recruit a member of staff, so it would become like music, a subject learnt by those whose parents can afford it' said Ann Dodgson a language teacher from Saffron Walden County High.
...A spokeman for the DfES said: 'The ressource has been an immense undertaking. Part 1 has completed the final stage of testing and part 2 is at an advanced stage of testing. Both will be available shortly'...* Avons-nous en France ce genre de programme? (simple question de curiosité).
