Since 2005, the Bangladesh Debating Council (BDC) has been working nationwide and across all levels of educational institutions to promote structured, inclusive, and impactful debating culture. Since 2005, the Bangladesh Debating Council has been working with educational institutions in all tiers, from schools to universities nationwide, with the aim of encouraging a generation of students to tran

scend boundaries and hone their communication, critical analysis and constructive thinking skills. Each year the council organizes the Pre-Worlds Debating Championship, the largest English Debating Competition in the country that has previously attracted up to 64 institutions. The council has also worked in ensuring rules, regulations & technicalities are observed to ensure fair competition within schools & universities across the country. While also being recognized as the first organization to introduce a transparent system of debate judgment and even digital software that helps record debates in order to make the process more fair and increase the scope for one’s self-development. Every year since 2006 through a long process of selections, where we test the school level debaters in every aspect of debating, we select the top 5 school level debaters of the country to form Team Bangladesh, which participates at the World Schools Debating Championship (WSDC).
