Kwara Students To Represent Nigeria At World Schools’ Debate
Kwara State Government has brought together its secondary students in preparation for the forthcoming World Schools Debate Championship taking place in Netherlands this year.
Chairman of the Kwara State Universal Basic Education Board (KWSUBEB), Prof. Sheu Raheem Adaramaja, revealed this via a statement in Ilorin, Kwara State.
He said Governor AbdulRahman Abdulrazaq has consented the camping exercise to rightly get the students set for the approaching championship.
Recall that the Kwara contingent, that comprises of public schools students, won the national schools debate at the finals in Lagos, in what praised the efforts, performance and investments of governor Abdulrazaq in the education sector.
“Our children are the ones representing Nigeria in the Netherlands. Everything is being done to make sure they excel at the world schools debate championship. We have engaged various tutors, including native speakers of English language who are involved in the KwaraLEARN programme, to hone the skills of the students to be at their best.”
“We do have very good and committed local tutors who have been training these children. The idea of also getting native speakers, who incidentally are working on our KwaraLEARN project, is to expose the children to different intonations they might encounter at the championship. We are confident that they will represent Nigeria well, just as they have recently done us proud in Kwara State at the national level,” Adaramaja said.
