Other past contestants shared some experiences on how beneficial the competition has been. Anasthasia, now a first year Public Administration student of the University of Ghana, disclosed the competition has honed her debating skills.
“I still debate at the University because of this exposure. It has helped me a lot in public speaking and to know more about the world and even think wider. “The foundation given me through this debate has afforded me enough leverage to move on in life,” she said.
