Kaieteur News – The 2022 edition of the JOF Haynes Memorial Inter-Secondary School Debating Competition was launched on Tuesday with Winifred Gaskin Memorial Secondary School emerging as the winner of the first round of debating which followed against the Fort Wellington Secondary School.
The highly anticipated competition was launched on Tuesday in Region Five at the Latchmansingh Primary School Annex where the two teams met to battle with words. The Winifred Gaskin Memorial Secondary School, the opposition, was represented by Crystal Smartt (1st speaker), Quincie Andrews (2nd speaker) and Masani Jordan (3rd speaker). The team scored 268 points and Masani Jordan was judged the best speaker.
Meanwhile, the Fort Wellington Secondary School, the proposing side, scored 244 points and was represented by Christal Welch (1st speaker), Tejwattie Sirirampersaud (2nd speaker) and Basmattie Chrisendat (3rd speaker).
The two teams debated the moot: The rapid increase in private schooling in Guyana is an indictment of the public education system. The Assistant Chief Education Officer with responsibility for Secondary Education, Ms. Tiffany Harvey, officially declared the competition open. She said that the COVID-19 pandemic caused the competition to be held virtually over the past two years. She noted, however, that nothing beats face-to-face competition and that it was good to have the competition return to its normal mode. She said that several debates will continue tomorrow as the competition is rolled out across the country. Education Officers, Mr. Lalchand Salik and Mr. Sheldon Granville also delivered remarks during the brief opening ceremony.
