As Rwanda is cerebrating the week for saving and banking, the focus was put on mobilizing the young people about the positive outcomes of nurturing the habit of saving both for them and for the nation at large.
As to reach the goal, different schools held debates on different motions related to both saving and banking. The finalists were Green Hills and Agahozo Shallom. The final debate was won by the Green hills. Both sides were confidently defending their views and this played a significant role in judging the best side to win.
Seven judges took into account not only argumentative skills but also time management ability.
Green Hills Academy was tasked to defend the usefulness of financial management while their counterparts were tasked to defend the motion linked to the finance itself.
