As the longest-serving Board Chairman of GIS, Mr Kwame Pianim believes that a strong mind can hold down conflicting views and be able to understand them thoroughly. To honour his passion for research-based discussions, GIS has dedicated an annual debate in honour of him. In light of this, he was recently invited as the Special Guest of Honour to enjoy one of our numerous debates under the topic “African Countries Should Not Import Goods That They Produce Locally”.
It was a delight to see our Lower 6th Form students do a great job debating against the resolution while our relentless Form 4 students argued in favour of the aforementioned. Everyone listened with rapt attention and very much enjoyed the debate. At the end of the session, the Judges declared the Lower 6th Form Speakers winners. A big thank you to our Teachers in the English Language and Literature department Ms Grace Hanson, Mr Ben Morgan, Mr. Francis Agabey Abaayakanoipo, Ms Mary Bushel, Mr. Prince Peasah Edusei and Mrs Carol Odamtten for teaching our students the beautiful art of confident, eloquent and intellectual debating. Congratulations to everyone! Ayekoo!
