    16th Visayas-Mindanao Debate Championship · Round 1 · 2025-07-18

  • This house believes that it is in Panama’s interests to abolish all diploma tracks in its public secondary education system and instead provide students with comprehensive general education through grade 12

    Infoslide

    Panama’s public secondary education system (grades 7–12) has two stages. Grades 7–9 follow a single General Basic Education curriculum. Grades 10–12 require students to choose one "diploma track" within either Academic (e.g., sciences, humanities) or Professional & Technical programs (e.g., tourism, maritime operations). After selecting a track, students devote most of their schedule to that field while still taking some general education courses. Students generally cannot switch tracks after the first semester of grade 10 without repeating an academic year or overloading their schedule with the necessary credits to catch up.
