Every year, students from all over Côte d'Ivoire compete in the National School Debate Competition in Abidjan. This year, teams from Bouaké, Yopougon, and Cocody faced each other on the topic: "Should exams like the BAC be replaced by continuous assessment?" The team from Bouaké, led by Rodrigue, argued that continuous assessment reduces stress and gives a fairer picture of a student's abilities throughout the year. "In my opinion, one single exam cannot measure a whole year of learning," Rodrigue said. The team from Cocody disagreed. Their captain, Aminata, replied, "I understand your point, however the BAC guarantees the same standard for every student in the country." The judges praised both teams for their strong arguments and diplomatic tone. In the end, the Bouaké team won the competition, thanks to their clear examples and confident delivery. The event ended with a reminder from the organizers: "The goal of debate is not to win an argument, but to understand different points of view."

Welcome to this month's staff meeting at N'SIYO Édition. Today, we need to decide whether to switch to eco-friendly packaging for our books. Armel starts the discussion. "From my point of view, eco-friendly packaging will attract more customers who care about the environment." Rodrigue responds. "That's a fair point, Armel, however the cost is twenty percent higher than our current packaging." Aminata adds an argument. "I'm convinced that customers are willing to pay a little more for a good cause. Studies show that green packaging improves brand image." The director concludes the meeting: "Thank you everyone for your opinions. We will test eco-friendly packaging for three months before making a final decision."
