Bangladesh Debating Council

Since 2006, the Bangladesh Debating Council has been working with educational institutions in all tiers, from schools to universities nationwide, with the aim of encouraging a generation of students to transcend boundaries and hone their communication, critical analysis and constructive thinking skills.

Each year the council organizes the Pre-Worlds Debating Championship, the largest English Debating Competition in the country that has previously attracted up to 64 institutions. The council has also worked in ensuring rules, regulations & technicalities are observed to ensure fair competition within schools & universities across the country.

While also being recognized as the first organization to introduce a transparent system of debate judgment and even digital software that helps record debates in order to make the process more fair and increase the scope for one’s self-development.

Every year since 2006 through a long process of selections, where we test the school level debaters in every aspect of debating, we select the top 5 school level debaters of the country to form Team Bangladesh, which participates at the World Schools Debating Championship (WSDC).
