Education
Approach
Common question types include comparing traditional vs. online learning, debating the purpose of education (knowledge vs. employability), and discussing who should fund it (state vs. private). A strong tip is to concede a counter-point (e.g. 'private schools do offer smaller class sizes') before refuting it with a stronger argument, which shows balanced critical thinking.
