Each school took their turn and after which the topic and position (whether supporting or against) and the opposing school of the schools absent was sorted out and were later communicated to by the Debate Draw Hosts: Layefa and Francis.

The essence of Teens impact Club and the reason behind organizing the debate competition as it touches on the benefits to the students, was clearly stated. The attention of the schools representatives was drawn to the letter sent to the schools which includes the debate topics and the debate tournament schedule.
