Debate is probably one of the best
learning tools one could possibly have. No matter what profession one enters,
he/she needs to acquire the skills for debating. Keeping this in mind, debate
competitions are held in Arwachin International School every year to give the
students the tools they need to be more successful. Debating helps the students
to enhance their critical thinking skills and also improve their speaking
skills and make them more confident.
