Round one has ended; round two begins.
The house recently REJECTED the proposition that "The continuing introduction of new technologies and new media adds little to the quality of most education".
On December 11th, the focus shifts to our next proposition: "This house proposes governments and universities everywhere should be competing to attract and educate all suitably-qualified students regardless of nationality and residence."
We challenge you to join the contest and help decide a winner.
