Georgetown, Guyana – The Speaker’s National Youth Debating Competition 2025 continues with Round 2 on Friday, June 13, 2025, showcasing the critical thinking and oratory skills of some of Guyana’s brightest young minds. The second round resumes with three dynamic debates, starting at 9:30 a.m.

The day's first matchup will see the Proposing Policy Forum Guyana Youth Group face off against the opposing Gen Advocates Youth Group, debating the thought-provoking moot:
“Developed countries have a responsibility to fight global poverty.”

At 11:00 a.m., the spotlight will shift to the University of Guyana Berbice Campus Orators’ Mastery Society, proposing against the Queen’s College Debate and Literacy Club on the moot: “Sanctions are an effective way to enforce international law.”

The day’s final debate begins at 2:00 p.m., where the New Life Youth Flame Youth Group will propose against the Ruimveldt Life Improvement Centre Youth Ministries Youth Group on the timely moot: “Cash grants to Guyanese are a sustainable method for wealth distribution.”

As part of its ongoing schedule, the competition will continue every Tuesday and Friday, offering a platform for youth across the country to engage in policy-based dialogue and public discourse.

The public is encouraged to tune in live via the Parliament of Guyana's official website, Facebook, and YouTube pages to experience the power of the youth voice and witness the future leaders of Guyana in action.
