The Lake Cowichan Gazette reported on two teams of students from Brentwood College School in Canada advancing to the Top 64 round of the Brewer Foundation/NYU International Public Policy Forum (IPPF) debate competition.
The article on January 7, 2020, reported on the teams from the school in Mills Bay, British Columbia, Canada. “If we can make it to the top eight, we’ll get to go to New York for the final competition,” said Brentwood College student debater Mahar Arora, 17. ““It’s pretty exciting because no other team from Brentwood College ever made it this far in this competition.”
The IPPF is the first and only international debate competition that gives high school students the opportunity to engage in written and oral debates on issues of public policy.
“The IPPF presents an exciting opportunity for high school students to engage in issue-oriented advocacy, competing against some of the best debate teams in the world,” said William A. Brewer, founder of the Brewer Foundation and chairman of the IPPF advisory board.
