Clubs •Debate Club

Shakespeare has written “To be or not to be? That is the Question.” Genesis Global School has the goal of channelizing student’s naturally inquisitive and sometimes quite spirited “know-it- all.” into a positive learning assignment.’ Debates offer that natural avenue for teachers to facilitate analytical thinking by tapping the students’ natural talent of arguing and challenging authority.

GGS promotes debates vigorously at all levels, classroom, inter-house, national and international events. The Debating Society works on the acquisition of comprehension skills which is paramount for students to become competent readers and writers, linking debates directly to the entire curriculum. Debates allow students to become more proficient in speaking, researching, reading, and writing skills and they promote reasoning as well as communication skills. In addition, debates, both formal and informal, are a vehicle for students to express their opinions assertively in a respectful manner on a relevant issue or topic.
