Primary Schools Championships 2027: Quiz, Debate, Public Speaking, Spelling Bee, Poetry, and Chess

About Zimbabwe Primary Schools

Celebrating young minds through quiz, debate, poetry, chess, and more. Catch Them Young. Raise Them Right. A national platform for Grade 4–7 learners to fall in love with words, ideas, and critical thinking.

If debate is a sport for the mind, then ZPSC is the junior league. Launched as part of the BSR family, ZPSC exists because we believe intellectual development must start early. We take students aged 8–13 and teach them how to stand up, speak up, and think critically. Through simplified debate formats, storytelling, spelling bees, and quiz challenges, ZPSC makes learning loud, proud, and fun.

Inspiring growth and confidence every year. A confident Voice can take your child where certificates cannot!

Research shows: children who debate early improve 40% faster in reading comprehension and confidence. ZPSC isn’t about creating child prodigies. It’s about giving every child tools to ask “why?”, to disagree respectfully, and to believe their voice matters.

Parent & Teacher Promise:

Safe Environment: Child protection policies, trained marshals, and age-appropriate content only.

Skill Over Score: Judges give feedback after every round. Every child leaves better than they arrived.

Affordable Access: We subsidize costs so rural and under-resourced schools can attend.

WS Debate: 3-person teams, shorter speeches, simpler motions like “Schools should have no homework”. Focus is on listening and respect, not winning at all costs.
