Literary activities like debates and declamations help children enhance academic research, creativity, expression and communication skills.

A debate makes students learn the nuances of debating, putting forth their viewpoints confidently and gain unparallel knowledge.

An Inter-house English Debate Competition was held in The Modern School,ECNCR on July 21, 2018 in the school assembly hall for the classes S4  – S6. The topic of the debate was ‘Is peer pressure beneficial for children?’

Debaters from each house debated excellently in favour and against the motion. The audience applauded each one of them as they kept forth their arguments with great confidence and aplomb. The contestants were judged on content, expression and fluency.

The question answer session at the end of the competition saw the debaters rising to the challenge to prove their arguments.

It was an erudite experience for both the participants as well as the other students.
