Weapon of logic
After successful completion of AUDC (Asian Universities Debating Championship), I would like to thank EWU for arranging such a prestigious debating event. Debate is not only a strong intellectual weapon of logic and argument, it is more than that. It encourages students to be knowledgeable, increases leadership quality and analytical power. But in case of English debate we need to realize the necessity of learning English well. We fail to achieve the best in this tournament, though others Asian countries like the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore are doing well. I urge the government to take some steps for our educational system. English has to be given priority from the primary level.
Trained teachers and expert tutors are required for this purpose. And at the same time, provisions should be created by the universities to encourage participation of students in international debating events through assisting them both financially and logistically.
