Professor Domonic Fobih, Minister of Education, Science and Sports praised the schools and said they had proven that they are capable of critically thinking, apply, analyse and synthesize ideas and more importantly, demonstrate their command and confidence in the use of the English Language.

He said the contestants did their best in articulating their views whilst debunking that of their partners on the other side of the divide. Prof. Fobih said the Ministry would develop auxiliary programmes that irrespective of the subject area would create the opportunities for students to discuss or argue on topical issues in their fields of study.
