British Parliamentary Debate
“It is better to debate a question without settling it, than to settle a question without debating it.”
-Joseph Joubert
Nothing whets the zeal of a debater like the fray of parliamentary debating. A perfect amalgam of ideas, facts, propositions and confutations, it is the platform for the exchange and expansion of well informed ideas and views.
PCTE initiated the British Parliamentary Debate in the country. The format gives one ample opportunity as a debater to gain wide perspectives, use large knowledge base and be able to debate from multiple perspectives. BP Debate gauges a flair of debating as well as cognitive and cohesive arguments founded on a clear understanding of the motion and conviction to support or oppose it. BP debate allows the student to apply both communication skills and knowledge while debating. In addition, it encourages the student to think on two feet and find solutions proactively.
