Ein Video der Gesellschaft für Klassische Philologie Innsbruck zum Erhalt der 12 Jahreswochenstunden Latein in der AHS-Oberstufe mit Stimmen aus Schule, Universität und Politik.
Bitte anschauen und weiterleiten!📚🌐
MMn. geht es um die Freiheit, wählen zu können und dann die Möglichkeit zu haben, eine Sprache richtig zu lernen. Da die Kürzung alle „zweiten Sprachen“ betrifft, stellt sich die Frage, ob 8 Stunden FR., ES. oder Lat. für diejenigen, die es ernst meinen, für ein intensives Lernen ausreichen.
