The topic of this match is “sex education should or should not be promoted in all primary and secondary schools in Macau”. Team A members were LAU IN TONG, a first-year student from Faculty of Social Science (FSS) and a member of Stanley Ho East Asia College (SHEAC); SAM TONG, a second-year student from Faculty of Health Science (FHS) and a member of Lui Che Woo College (LCWC); LEONG SIN MAN, a first-year student from Faculty of Business Administration (FBA) and a member of Choi Kai Yau College (CKYC) and SIT KA HOU, a first-year student from Faculty of Law (FLL) and a member of Ma Man Kei and Lo Pak Sam College (MLC).

Team A came up with the idea that the current cases of sexual crimes in Macao are on the rise with more and more teenagers involved. The promotion of sex education can be used to combat crime and maintain social stability. On the contrary, Team B held up the opinion that primary school students may not receive sex education effectively. The force of sex education promotion will only lead to negative results. Eventually Team B won the match with the result of 0:5. Moreover, CHEANG IOK KEONG , a second-year student from Faculty of Law (FLL) and a member of Henry Fok Pearl Jubilee College (HFPJC) was awarded with the Best Debater Award.
