<![CDATA[Debate Help!!!!]]>Dear Parents,


I am a P5 boy in the school debate team. It is my first time but these debate questions are stressing me out. :?

Do primary kids students need tuition? Why?

Thank you in advance!

Not only do they become more confident in public speaking and presentations, but they have the opportunity to sharpen their critical thinking skills, and learn to think quickly on their feet. I definitively believe debate is super useful for young students!


The company where I work, The Global Citizen, is offering an intensive two-day camp for primary students to give students a chance to explore debate. We focus not only on content, but also on preparation and delivery. Our goal is to have all students experience debate in order to gain valuable experience as they continue to grow and develop.

Please let me know if you have any questions, or email us at contact@theglobalcitizen.sg. Registration is now open at tinyurl.com/tgcaxiom.

They are aimed at preparing your child/yourself for debate competition or just to get a headstart amongst your peers.


OpenMinds Training focuses on building structure to ensure young students learn the technique, not just the content.

You may PM me if you have any questions. Hope this helps!

Just curious, why some school offers debating class yet others don't? I always thought debates is very good for P5 and P6 students to build their confidence in speaking.


Kudos to schools that make their effort to have such classes.
I fully agree that more schools should try to get their pupils to be more active in debate. The problem is that many schools only try to take part in CCA's that they think they have a shot at winning and thus they 'calculate' that debate might not be worth spending their resources on... Very sad short term thinking...

Think about what the counter arguments are likely to be, so that you can work out your case in advance. Be open minded and prepared to change your opinion. Don’t get drawn into personal attacks. Stick to the subject being debated.

Don’t get me wrong, content is important in a debate, but its just as important to engage with your opponents and figure out what they are saying and how to work against that. Its always better to have a notes about the topic rather than fully written materials.

Just my 2 cents worth…

For opp, you have to quote examples of those top PSLE pupils without tuition.

Singapore's education system is known to be world class. Complete with world class syllabus, curriculum, principals, teachers and campus. Since education is already world class, there is no need to waste time and money for senseless tuition, often conducted by not properly trained & tested tutors, with exception of few of course.

(** no offense intended to all tutors, just a debate :oops: 😉 )
