Unnecessary language test

The call for the grade test for the ancient Chinese language is unnecessary, says an article in Yangtze Evening Post. The following is an excerpt:

Peng Guojun, a professor with Yunnan University, recently wrote in his new book that foreign language studies are compulsory in colleges and students are required to pass grade tests. Should college students be required to pass grade tests of the ancient Chinese language, too?

He also wrote that it is quite necessary to teach ancient Chinese, which is, in fact, an emergency measure to popularize traditional cultures. That is the original intention for 78-year old professor Peng to write the book titled Concise and Practical Ancient Chinese Grammar.
