The Guardian reported that Latin is being introduced in some state schools, several approving readers letters were published, but no disapproving letters.
Not so long ago, Latin was compulsory for university entrance.
Should pupils/students be encouraged to learn Latin? Does it even make sense to try to learn more than one foreign language?

Latin is to be taught at state schools across England in an effort to counter the subject’s reputation as one that is “elitist” and largely taught at private schools.
A £4m Department for Education (DfE) scheme will initially be rolled out across 40 schools as part of a four-year pilot programme for 11- to 16-year-olds starting in September 2022.
