Wonderful to see our friends at @WorkClassicists making the papers! The campaign to expand access to Classics in Scotland's schools is predicated on the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to try it out. It is a great subject with truly something for everyone!

Very few Scottish students study Classics at school, state school pupils are hugely under-represented amongst those that do. I went to Arbroath to meet a couple trying to do something about that. heraldscotland.com/business_…

Meet the couple challenging Scotland's educational status quo

An unlikely location for an innovative and class-conscious attempt to challenge Scotland’s educational status quo.
