Competition History
The Competition began 17 years ago when a small group of Native English-speaking Teachers (NETs) introduced competitive debating in secondary schools as a way to develop local students’ language skills.The Native English-speaking Teachers’ Asosciation (NESTA) organised the competition for many years, during which, many organisations contributed to its development through sponsorship.

教協有逾九萬會員，是全港最具規模的工會。要維持一個如此龐大的組織正常運作，除了有賴各位同工的支持外，還需要一位可靠、有心有力的領袖。今期我們邀請到馮偉華會長，講述他在不同崗位上的經歷。
馮偉華會長於1989年開始在香港城市大學任教，同年加入教協成為會員。在加入教協理事會之前，他已經積極參與城大工會的工作。2003年，政府計劃取消資助副學位課程，城大有意解僱所有負責副學位課程的教員及職員，受影響的人數逾200人。當年馮偉華與一班師生組織「拯救城大副學位課程行動組」，並出任副召集人，希望城大保留副學位課程。行動組組織了各項抗爭行動，又曾向立法會教育事務委員會作出申訴。雖然政府最終仍然決定大幅度減少對副學位課程的承擔，但行動組亦成功令城大以自資方式續辦副學位課程，讓負責副學位課程的同工得以留任。翌年，時任會長張文光邀請他入閣，出任教協理事。
