  Info Slide: A charter school is a school that receives government funding but operates independently of the established state school system in which it is located. It is independent in the sense that it operates according to the basic principle of autonomy for accountability, that it is freed from the rules but accountable for results.

Q IMPROMPTU: ART and MEDIA

SEMIS

• This House believes that the African Union should prioritize strengthening regional alliances as opposed to continental unification.
  Info Slide: Regional alliances refer to cooperative blocs among nearby African nations (such as ECOWAS, SADC, or the East African Community) that coordinate on security, trade, and political issues within a specific sub-region. Continental unification refers to broader, Africa-wide integration efforts (similar to the structure of the EU) that aim to centralize political decision-making, harmonize institutions, or move toward continent-wide economic or political union.

FINALS

• This House regrets the narrative of green capitalism as a response to climate change.
  Info Slide: Green capitalism is the theory that a free market economy can solve the climate crisis.
