    KNUST adjudged second at World Universities Debating Championship

    Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has achieved another significant accomplishment at the 2023 World Universities Debating Championships (WUDC).

    The Kumasi-based university attained second position in the competition’s English as a Second Language (ESL) category finals.

    As a result, the school has broken records by becoming the first African university to achieve this position in a competition that began 43 years ago.

    They finished second in Madrid, Spain in January and qualified for the semi-finals in 2023. As reported by the Voice of KNUST, the university was ably represented by Prosper Michael Ametu, a fourth-year BA Sociology student, and Vincent Johnson Attakpah, a fourth-year BSc Statistics student, who qualified through nine rounds of debate.
