Debate writing

Last week at school we did debates about the NZ education system being broken I was on the opposition so I thought it wasn't broken here my debate.

NZ’s education is not broken. according to OECD, new Zealand's school ranking is 17 out of 76 in the world so we are getting the very good education. According to BBC and OECD, There is a competition called Pisa program for international student assessment.  Every 3 years more than 60 countries come to do this competition so they're about half a million 15-year-olds that do this competition.

the test is run by OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) this competition also releases the rankings into a table that I was talking about earlier with our ranking We are 17! Out of 76 In the table, so our system must be working.  taking part in this competition costs 2 million dollars for New Zealand for only one round of this competition.  

New Zealand must be good otherwise, NZ wouldn't spend that amount of money on a competition that we would be terrible at.  The Pisa reports get broken down into averages below average at average and above average NZ is above average. That is why the opposition has won this debate.

After we finished our debate we put up the points and our team won so the opposition won the debate.
