The government's decision to remove Latin from all NCEA levels by 2023 is being criticised by a Victoria University PhD candidate in the history programme.

Josh King argues that Latin is a subject which can encourage the joys of seeing a language and open possibilities for students.

He talks to Jesse about why he's arguing to keep Latin available to students, and why he is warning of a larger trend.
