In southern Italy 20 % of upper sec. ed. Pupils choose Liceo classico,
in the north only 8%.
No exact numbers; less than 25% of the Baccalaureate studied Latin,
less than 10% studied Greek. In 2003 Greek became compulsory in
the exams to access to the university for pupils who study
humanistics (), so from then the number of pupils are lightly
increasing.
No exact indications, but from the fact that teachers have to fight
against threatings, can be concluded that the number is lessening.
Application of ICT is part of the subject aims. There is a network of
teachers and websites of teachers who make applications.
Obligation also to focus on possibilities.
Good development of ICT applications in CD’s and also in online,
web-based learning programs (e.g Cambridge Latin Course online.)
Some very good websites and cooperation and contributions of
teachers as members of networks.
Also in the subject aims. But you can still teach Latin without any
ICT. Nevertheless, many publishing houses offer CDs and exercise
software. Unfortunately, the latter is in many cases still far from
being really aesthetic.
There are homepages of Latin teachers (and students) that are full of
interesting material, but there is no real network.
There are few teachers who use ICT in teaching Classics, but
fortunately, also in Italy, there are some teachers and websites of
teachers who make applications.
There is quite a good development in these applications. Educational
authorities promote the use of ICT in lessons, they offer a lot of
formation activities for teachers, but they don’t furnish enough tools,
media, means for the schools. The use and application of ICT
depends on every teacher.

of teachers for integration of culture in teaching Latin and Greek.
