DPS STS School Dhaka recently hosted a two-day debating contest at the school's Senior Campus, organized by the DPS STS Debate Club.
As many as 40 teams from over 30 Dhaka schools competed, demonstrating remarkable critical thinking and speaking skills, according to a media statement issued on Monday.
The DPS STS Debate Club hosted the first ever interschool debate competition, allowing viewers to witness thought-provoking interactions between the most inventive young people.
The student-led event concluded with a performance by the school band "Ignite" and an open mic session for all.
Dr Shivananda C S, principal of DPS STS School Dhaka, said the art of oratory and producing logical counter-arguments require a higher level of thinking skills.
“Our students from DPS STS Debate Club have made me proud with their organizing skills, as they have presented us with such a marvelous event. While 40 teams participated, hundreds of other students were also greatly motivated by their confident approach and strong approach with own perspectives,” he said.
“Debating allows students to evaluate the facts and busts our myths and clarifies opinionated understanding. In a world where rumors spread faster than facts, debating is a time tested way to persuade others to see with clarity. Bangladesh has produced world class debaters,” he added.
He hoped that the DPS STS Debate Tournament produces more such champions and extended congratulations and best wishes to all the organizers and participants for their future endeavors.
Daraz Bangladesh and Baly Group sponsored the two-day event in partnership with Universal College Bangladesh - Monash College Program, Bangladesh Finance, Toitomboor, Sepnil, and Fashion Exclusive Bangladesh.
