‘They see it is living’: Durham professor’s mission to get more pupils into classics

Arlene Holmes-Henderson wants all children in UK to have equal access to classical education

My business school colleagues tell me that it's not called levelling up any more, it's rebalancing," says Arlene Holmes-Henderson, a Durham University professor. I think it's just doing the right thing."

Holmes-Henderson is discussing her mission to help fix a problem many people don't know or think about, though she thinks they should. She wants people to care about the classics, and for all children in the UK to have equal access to classical education, whether that's the gladiators of Rome, or knowing your khaos from your chiasmus.
