Four legislators join university teams in practice session
Legislators joined teams of university students in a practice debate in the run- up to the final of the Inter Post- Secondary College Debate Competition 2001, to take place tomorrow.
The annual competition, in its 18th year, is jointly organised by Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) and the Hong Kong Federation of Students, and sponsored by Hang Seng Bank.
It aims to develop students' independent thinking and interest in the art of debating.
The practice debate was arranged for the semi-finalists in the competition which began last month.
The practice was held at the RTHK studios last week.
RTHK Chinese Programme Service head Ava Wong Fat-chi said she hoped to raise students' awareness of social issues and current affairs through the contest.
'I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all the guests who have joined us here at the debate today,' Ms Wong said.
