ATIHE is pleased to announce the establishment of the Debate Club as part of the university’s commitment to enhancing its students’ involvement in co-curricular & extra-curricular activities. Building and having debating skills for the students are pretty much important, most importantly in the classrooms where they can improve their ability to learn basic critical thinking and presentation skills in a way that other forms of skills can’t match up with. Classroom debates can train students and people in general about rational thought, community and cultural understanding, customs and manners, set of thoughts, influencing ability, and the main element of public speaking. Debating skills encourage students and people to mature into more confident and bold people and will assist the students to acquire a political identity or personal identity of their own like a debater. Debate students excel in written and oral communication and greatly improve their reading comprehension most importantly, debaters become self-directed learners and continue to learn throughout their lives. Debate teaches students to recognize how others think which improves their ability to cooperate and resolve conflicts. In addition, through debate debaters acquire unique educational benefits as they learn and polish skills far beyond what can be learned in any other setting. It instills in debaters a great sense of confidence and self-esteem. It teaches them the skills of researching, organizing, and presenting information in a convincing manner.

The Club has selected its president, vice president, and four members from both faculties (Faculty of Economics & Faculty of Law and Political Science) through a clear and transparent election process.
