The Lahore School of Economics Association of Debaters (LSEAD)’s sixth Annual Debate Competition ended on a high and energetic note with speakers from GCU, Fast (Lahore), UCL and LGS Paragon verbally battling it out to take home the trophy at the Garden Café on February 7, 2012. Dr. Shahid Amjad Chaudhry, the Rector Lahore School who attended the finals praised the standard and quality of speeches during the Lahore School Debates 2012.
The Urdu Parliamentary Finals discussed the motion ‘This House Believes the Democracy is not For Asia’, with GCU proposing the motion, and FAST opposing it. Fast students defeated the proposition in a split decision and were able to not only bag the winning trophy, but also took home the Best Speaker award. Over 30 teams took on the challenge on trying to win the Lahore School Debates trophy.
The motion of the English Parliamentary Finals touched a very sensitive topic which involved responsibility: “This House would Allow Elderly Parents to Sue their Children for not Taking Care of them.’ The proposition, UCL, battled it out with youngsters from LGS Paragon, and took home the trophy and the Best Speaker award.
