The British High Commissioner Thomas Drew announced the launch of the Great Debate competition at the British High Commission in Islamabad. The Great Debate 2017 is the third annual edition of the competition that gives Pakistani students a platform to participate in debates, interact with other students from different universities and improve their skills in research, analytical thinking and public speaking.
On the occasion the British HC said, "We are delighted to present the third Great Debate competition. I am looking forward to seeing the top debaters from across Pakistan engage in a healthy competition. The Great Debate 2017 edition is an important part of our 70th anniversary celebrations of UK-Pakistan relations and this year's topics complement the theme of the Commonwealth Summit in 2018."
The Great Debate contest is a debating competition for university students. There will be seven semi-finals in seven different cities (Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Gujarat, Faisalabad and Mirpur) involving students from over 50 leading universities across Pakistan and the winner and runner-up of each semi-final will compete in the final in Islamabad.
Winners and runner-ups from the semi-finals will be given one year British Council digital library membership. The winner and runner-up of the overall competition will receive a scholarship reward to contribute towards their tuition fees.
