Team Aceh triumphed over tournament favorite Team Bali in a very close match at last night's 2011 National Schools Debating Championships (2011 NSDC). Debating the motion THBT Establishing Democracy through Military Force is Justifiable, the team from SMA Model Bangsa took 5 of the 9 adjudication votes from the SMA 4 Denpasar team, which recently won the ALSA UI (high school) debates.
The NSDC has been sponsored annually by the Indonesian Ministry of Education, in a program which started in 2000 (then called the High School Debating Camp). The top speakers from the NSDC are included in a shortlist of candidates from which Indonesia's representatives to the World Schools Debating Championships are chosen.
Congratulations to both teams, and to all the speakers who made it to the top speaker spots!
