What to Expect in the Competition?
After completing the school registration through the form below, the school representative will contact you to register the students and train them before entering the competition at the municipal level known as the Misrata Schools Debating Championship. The championship will witness intense debate rounds where student teams representing their schools will compete in adjudicated debates.
