Anambra School Wins Inaugural UK-Nigeria Debate Contest
A secondary school in Anambra State, Nigeria, has achieved a remarkable feat by emerging as the overall winner of the inaugural UK-Nigeria Schools Debate Competition, triumphing over several top schools from the United Kingdom and other participating countries.
The prestigious international competition, which was aimed at fostering critical thinking, public speaking, and cross-cultural dialogue among students from both nations, saw dozens of schools engage in rounds of intense intellectual debates on global and societal issues.
Representing Nigeria, the students from the Anambra-based school impressed judges with their eloquence, depth of reasoning, and persuasive arguments.
They consistently outperformed their counterparts, including some of the UK’s most reputable academic institutions.
The final round of the competition was particularly gripping, as the Nigerian team tackled complex topics such as global inequality, climate change, and education reform with exceptional clarity and confidence.
Their victory not only earned them the top trophy but also the admiration of educators and audiences across both nations.
Organizers of the UK-Nigeria Debate Competition praised the participants for their high level of preparation and engagement, noting that the success of the Nigerian team is a testament to the quality of talent and education in the country.
The Anambra State government, alongside education stakeholders, has since congratulated the school on its historic achievement, describing it as a source of pride and inspiration for students across Nigeria.
Plans are underway to honour the team and promote future participation in international academic events.
