I love this one. It would make the students prepare and cultivate the attitude of studying voraciously and aggressively

Educational Debate Cup for Africa Foundation - Africa debate cup testimonial
It is a novel idea and I wish this can go beyond Nigeria because students need to learn how to speak publicly and argue without emotions... They worked as a team and that is what debatiing is all about. It is not about an individual trying to impress others.
Joshua Bassey - School debate Coach

Innovative way of debating which is quite different from the stereotypes. This gives room for critical thinking still to be developed. In fact it encompasses all the 21st century skills which must be embedded into teaching learning process.
