Title
jact.org: Joint Association of Classical Teachers. Main Menu.
Description
JACT is a registered Charity No. 313165. The Association was founded in 1963 to improve and maintain the quality of the teaching of classics, and for this purpose to provide means by which teachers of classics may help one another and enabling them to reinterpret the traditional discipline in terms appropriate to the present day.
In December 1999, JACT was informed that money would be forthcoming from the DfEE for developing a web site for teachers of Classics. This site is the result of six months work: obviously no web site is ever 'finished' - and we hope that there will be a massive and continuous input from members and other visitors to the site.
JACT works in close association with the Classical Association (CA) and the Association for Latin Teaching (ARLT) - which has its own associated web site (link below) -, the learned societies and the Bristish Schools in Athens and Rome. It maintains links with the Department of Education and Employment (DfEE), with OFSTED and with the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA), and with the examination boards, all with the aim of promoting the teaching of Classics.
