English Debate Training: Preparing Students for World-Class Speaking, Leadership & Global Opportunities

Debate is one of the most powerful skill-builders for children growing up in a world where communication, confidence, and critical thinking matter more than ever. At WSB, English Debate Training is built around international standards—including preparation for the World Schools Debating Championship (WSDC), the most prestigious high-school debate competition in the world.

This program helps students become articulate English speakers, confident thinkers, and strong future university applicants—whether they plan to study in Bangladesh or abroad.

Why Debate Matters — The Global Reality

Across the world, many of the most influential leaders began their journeys through debate and public speaking:

  • Oprah Winfrey — transformed her debating and public speaking talent into a global career

  • Ketanji Brown Jackson — U.S. Supreme Court Justice, former champion debater

  • Barack Obama — widely known for debate-style speaking mastery

  • Nelson Mandela — trained in persuasive speech and debate at university

Strong communication has always been a pathway to leadership, opportunity, and academic success. WSB brings this global advantage to students in Gazipur—many for the very first time.
