The 2025 Grenlec Debates are moving into high gear with 16 secondary schools moving to the Round of Sixteen following a strong preliminary showing.
This year’s preliminaries, held under the theme “Mental Health and Wellness in the Digital Age,” showcased the depth of talent among Grenada’s students. Across three days of competition, debaters impressed with their preparation, confidence, and ability to tackle issues of the day.
Reflecting on her team’s performance, Bishop’s College coach Venilia Noel said:
_“The team did very well; they put their best out there after immense training. Team effort was what allowed us to be successful today.”_
Now, attention turns to the Round of Sixteen, where schools will explore the new theme, “Artificial Intelligence in the Educational Sphere.” The upcoming matches promise another round of thought-provoking arguments and spirited competition as students weigh in on how technology is reshaping our world.
Grenlec commends all participating schools for their strong performances and extends best wishes to the 16 teams advancing in the competition.
