Middle and high school students in the Ventura County Office of Education’s Migrant Education Program have an annual opportunity to show their skills during the Regional Speech and Debate Tournament. The students compete by presenting prepared and extemporaneous speeches and participating in small group debates. They have the choice of competing in English or Spanish. The event is a tremendous learning opportunity that helps students build confidence and sharpen their critical thinking, research, and public speaking skills. Information about the next tournament will be posted here soon.
