The education minister, Chris Hipkins, has announced that Latin will no longer be an NCEA subject by 2023. Hipkins cited poor student uptake as the main reason behind the change: only around 200 students from 10 schools around Aotearoa take NCEA Latin, and only about 25 at level 3. However, even if its a language whose spoken applications have long since died off, Latin is still all around us – from the legal system, to medicine, zoology, botany, religious studies. Thousands of words we u...

What message is Nellis sending to journalism students? OUâ€...
