National Debate Champions 2025: The Inspiring Story Behind the Win

At BINUS SCHOOL Education especially in BINUS SCHOOL Bekasi, we believe that every journey starts with a spark of curiosity, of courage, and of conviction. That spark came to life through the voices of our talented secondary students: Naila, Felicia, and Aurora, who were recently won Grand Winners at the National Schools Debate Championship 2025 – Municipal Level Preliminary Round.

This remarkable achievement stands as a powerful reflection of their dedication, intellect, and passion for meaningful dialogue. Competing among some of the brightest young minds across schools, our team demonstrated not only strong argumentation and critical thinking but also grace under pressure and the ability to collaborate with clarity and confidence.

Debate is more than just speaking; it’s about listening, reasoning, and standing for what matters. Through weeks of preparation and countless hours of practice, these students honed their ability to communicate with impact skills that will serve them far beyond the debate stage.

Behind this success is a culture of learning that encourages students to challenge ideas, explore perspectives, and grow as leaders. We nurture these qualities through our academic programs and co-curricular opportunities that empower students to think independently and act responsibly.

The victory at the Municipal Level is not just a win for the debate team, it’s a celebration for our entire school community. It’s a reminder that when students are given the space to express themselves and the support to grow, they can rise to any challenge and leave a mark.

We are incredibly proud of Naila, Felicia, and Aurora for setting such a powerful example of perseverance and excellence. Their journey is just beginning, and we are excited to see how they continue to use their voices to lead, inspire, and create positive change in the world.

Congratulations once again to our outstanding debaters, thank you for showing us the power of words, the strength of teamwork, and the heart of a true Binusian.
