Debating has many advantages. These include rigorous and critical thinking, which in turn enhances one’s problem-solving skills. It also increases the mental and emotional maturity of the students and further develops their academic skills. Debating flexes your mental muscles and trains you to have a respectful discourse. Students should be encouraged to start young as this kind of communication and intellectual training will come in handy when they begin working.

We collated and curated the topics from Debate Motions, Bright Hub Education, Buzzle, and About Education courtesy of Melissa Kelly, secondary education expert.
