Talk Time: Kwesi Pratt Jnr. In conversation with Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum

[@michaelad1565]

This is the best thing that has ever happened in Ghanaian education, with knowledge, vision, and style. Mr. Adutwum, your profound insight, wisdom, and ability to improve Ghanaian education has translated into a sense of patriotism. We are indeed grateful for coming from the USA to help. God Bless You To President Nana Akufo-Addo, Even if Ghanaians didn't appreciate you for what you've done, one day children in your free SHS will build statues of you in their homes and offices to honor you. Our joy for Free SHS will never fade. Peace be with you, Mr. President.

[@bjoscar9061]

Ask him if they buy pass questions in the state of California

[@owususarforichard9905]

⁠@@bjoscar9061 Can you read between the lines? can’t you see the respect the interviewer has for him, Kwasi Pratt of all people is sitting down quietly soaking up the knowledge and the way Ghana education has been transformed by this man. As the saying goes seeing is believing and know body can change Pratt’s mind about this man, including you

[@francisakuamoah3903]

Here in the USA, our college professor give us hint and questions to study for exams ​@bjoscar9061

[@emmanuelboateng5294]

​@@bjoscar9061You need free SHS. What do you mean by buy pass?

[@johnnydarren8444]

Hahaha such an humble and brilliant minister, yet due to tribalism some Ghanaians would still attack him for their own unnecessary arguments. The Americans and Europeans don't think about fake brainwashed tribalism nonsense but who is capable to deliver. Kudos to you Minister.

[@hannahotchere2048]

We pray for him to continue doing the good work he's doing

[@forsterjubin1817]

Mr.Kwesi Pratt. This is one of your best Interviews l have ever watched. Very very high class and intelligent questions and answers. Well done both of you. ❤

[@nanabrenu]

Mr. Pratt I have been negative to you anytime I listen to you but I'm so impressed with you for this interview with the education minister. Well done sir

[@michaelopoku2335]

Don't be deceived! He hates NPP with a passion and he's very mischievou!

[@nanabrenu]

@@michaelopoku2335 pal, I know, but I'm applauding him for this interview

[@kwadwoboat6990]

I understand those times that you not too happy with him, but trust me, those times are different from this one. Here, he's a host of a programme and his professional attributes must come to play and that's exactly what he did. He was not there as a guest or a panel member😅🎉

[@harrietacquah2545]

Which Nana Brenu is this? Which country are you based please?

[@marcq2029]

​@michaelopoku2335 what's there to love about npp historically

[@philtymcnasty9994]

Whoever wins the next election MUST still maintain Dr. Adutwum as education minister. He is visionary and outside the box thinker. He is most probably the best education minister we have ever had since independence. I am saddened to hear my old school, Asem Boys School’s enrolments and standards have fallen down. Unbelievable!!!

[@charlesacquah6723]

You're a blessing to not only to Ghana but also to the black world.

[@alexadugyamfi3609]

Ive studied a lot from listening to Dr Adutwum. He is endowed with quantum knowledge particularly what pertains in education. Mr Pratt; thank you bringing this noble learned man.

[@rosemondkorsah8005]

The best interview I’ve ever watched. The minister is very knowledgeable and articulate and has a vision. Bravo more grease to your elbows.

[@BAaccounts]

Best education minister ever, you bring good things you saw in America to Ghana. Yes, we copy the best.

[@alimi-yaoadam1667]

Kwasi like most of us have great admiration for the man.

[@tankonazir3210]

A Very Humble and Honorable man and I pray he's chosen as the Vice President of Ghana. Am touched by his submission and vision for educational transformation in Ghana 🇬🇭. Thanks Talk Time by the veteran journalist Kwesi Pratt. Keep it up.

[@kdx1214]

Honestly it's worth voting for NPP to see Dr Adutwum's vision come to fruition. I do like his ideas if he can follow it through, Education is the future.

[@stephenofori8933]

Well done to Uncle Kwasi and our able minister Adu Twum. The current government is doing a lot of great things for Ghana future.

[@emmanuelgyan4132]

Great men Kwasi and Dr.Yaw Adu❤❤❤ God bless you sir

[@christianbediako933]

Well done mr Kwesi Pratt.Please continue to be positive in everything.No bias.Let the truth stands and lies shunned

[@onuacosta8599]

The man is very deep. Ghana need such characters.

[@kwameawere-gyekye3344]

Dr Adutwum your background is no different from that of thousands of us Ghanaians- sons and daughter of cocoa farmers who did not attend any formal school; struggled and with determination put us their children through school and hoped that one day we will turn out to be good citizens and contribute to society. And here we are today. God bless our homeland Ghana

[@boseman8227]

Even uncle prat per his body language agree that this minister is the best this country has ever had to manage our education. He knows his job very well. Bless him 🙏 I just hope Ghana's dirty politicians don't destroy his vision for the country's education transformation.

[@jakebaba2149]

THIS IS WHY GHANA NEEDS TO CONTINUE WITH THE NPP, SO THESE GOOD POLICIES WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE GHANA A GREAT, DVELOPED NATION.

[@hannahotchere2048]

Great educationalist. I salute you sir. Keep up the good work 👏. May the good Lord bless and protect you

[@robertquashie5244]

Thanks, Bro Kwesi, the best interview I've watched in so many years. It reminds me of Larry King Live.

[@apdwaseb8663]

Hat off to Mr Pratt for such a show. I wish such discussions devoid of politics, continue with technocrats

[@WireduQ]

Amazing minister, Uncle Kwasi, thank you for being truthful unbias and asking very relevant questions .

[@edwardadu-gyamfi3107]

Uncle Kwesi you did well - thanks

[@citizentvgh4935]

I am so much motivated by this interview. As an educationist, I am happy that through Adutwum , our education is picking up grounds.

[@godwinkofiatoguggistle9491]

This man really has a lot in him . I wish the next government could still engage him .

[@lordmayor6888]

Uncle this interview is not completed. You should have a part two.

[@edwardbamfo-darko]

Veteran Kwasi Pratt is moving in a right direction; interest in education of the youth.

[@kwadwoboat6990]

Very excellent show by all standards hosted by a very highly professional and experienced journalist. Kudos Uncle Kwasi

[@MichaelOpoku-gs5ie]

The best we can do as youth in this country is keep NPP in power so that they can continue with what they've started

[@jesuslovesme5207]

God bless you Dr.

[@hopelandankamah6322]

This man is something, the best education minister Ghana Needs! Not the Okudjeto knows nothing type of minister Not sanitary education minister Okudjeto. I hope they are listening.

[@kakeymensah]

Kwesi Pratt did a great job just allowing him to speak

[@talentayin4820]

Who ever wins government must consider retaining him as education minister

[@samuelkwaah9626]

NDC will never retained him because they don't want people to be educated.

[@WinWin4you]

Let me tell you the truth… if he was in NDC he couldn’t have done anything because Mahama says it can’t be done and if he has 2 billion he won’t use it to do Free SHS. So it took a visionary leader to bring him and empower him to do all these changes

[@kwadwoboat6990]

Sure, you right! But it also tells you about the priorities of our leaders. Maybe to Mahama and the NDC, education isn't a priority but, to Nana Addo and the NPP, it's

[@harrietacquah2545]

Asem oo

[@godfredakati]

Bravo, l wish vice to keep you at education ministry if he wins the presidency

[@evangelistopoku6544]

Wow this man is deep

[@user-le8dz9sw3u]

God bless Dr

[@WinWin4you]

Please Uncle Kwasi we need part 2 …Ghanaians need to see all the things NPP has done to prove that he is not just talking but actually these visions have been started and are all on going and most completely done. Nana Addo has changed this country but the future will tell. All doctors, engineers, IT personnel, nurses, Teachers, Pharmacists, Lecturers, Parliamentarians, Pastors , Mechanics, Musicians etc etc are going to come from these Free SHS students. Thank you Nana Addo and Adutwum

[@emmanuelademopoku9827]

I do not wish this hon minister to change to any other position. Why? Because he's the face of Ghana’s new education system. His knowledge of 21st-century education is in-depth. I'm pretty sure he will gladly lead the education transformation to completion. My love for him and his transformative ideas is strong. Thank you, minister. The children of Ghana need you to help change the narrative of our education.

[@stephenofori8933]

Beautiful interview, and l wish Uncle Kwasi will invite him again.

[@hamd772]

Beautiful interview!

[@GlobalTradeTV]

The youth are not serious and angry enough, we are unlearn, uneducated graduates and without national pride, NDC and NPP voting identity instead of national identity, too stup.d to hold our leaders accountable, it just sad and not understandable because the same youth are leaving under the poverty line but all the care about is entertainment

[@yitzhak5839]

Great interview @Kwasi Pratt

I wanted to do manufacturing engineering but unfortunately in the year i was going into university, no school was offering that course so i decided to do mechanical engineering and specialised in design and production in my final year.

[@hannahotchere2048]

We back you for vice president sir. God is on your side

[@nanaantwi-boasiako780]

Adutwum s d best to be Vic . He's too gud as minister of education.

[@patrickobuobi2762]

I like the interview keep it up

He just said it Uncle

[@katapori4713]

We are still here in California we know u more than u think.

[@emmanuelboateng5294]

And so what? Stupidity at the highest level.

[@gabrielquarm6588]

From Adutwum's educational thinking concerning visual arts turn into engineering I have realised our politics leadership is questionable foolish who don't have the mind to lead a country except Kwame Nkrumah and Akuffo Addo who invited Adutwum in.

Pls can u change the BACKGROUND, as it is assumed as a valley in our eyes. Its making viewing uncomfortable, ie, like a big hole at the back.

[@Anaafi2001]

Dr. Why won't you help the agriculture students feed the schools.

[@eyesfromabove6565]

Quite revealing that at a meeting of the men in charge of our education. They could not see that with 10% science students of overall students in shs, it was impossible to have 60% of science students of same students at the Tertiary level. Hmmmm

[@papa870]

😢😢😢

[@CollinsBempah]

Dis is man is real

[@princeappiah1883]

I find it very difficult to understand why npp has this humble and great man in our mist and dr bawumiah is taken too long to nominate his vice presidential candidate ...dr bawumiah should nominate this man without any delay and i have no doubt in my mind he will bring a lot of votes including floating voters to npp to win 2024 election!

[@wireduboansi6906]

I’m crying reading comments from here. We Ghanaians are not truthful. We will remove this man and bring Okudjato Ablakwa. Sooome! We are one of a kind in the world.😭😭

[@edwardbamfo-darko]

Best Education Minister since independence. He has really changed our nation’s education which had been defined by colonialism.

[@user-rr1rw3ig1r]

The colonialism defined education is what made me what I am & extremely grateful for that education. We had no Internet (which was courtesy colonials) & books majority by colonials, and have real knowledge. If u ask adutwum he will say the same. Our education system got killed by the whims of no substance people.

[@affiebenezer2930]

Reading through the comments, I think People enjoy words than action. He is reciting theories. You don't need to build STEM schools to make them STEM oriented. You need to just resources the available to the existing schools. I taught high school chemistry during my national service. You can just verify from any teacher in the high schools. The resources are not there to make them practical oriented and hence it will make them STEM oriented. You also need to train the teachers, because most of the teachers do not even know how to use computer (basic schools). In summary the words doesn't match the results. When you speak point to a reference.

[@rickykwofi5958]

can NDC compare Jane Nana Opoku Agyeman to Dr Yaw Adutwum

What is the quality of Ghana's education?

[@samuelopoku-acheampong5601]

Travel outside and then you can make the comparism . We take everything for granted and puts no value on anything Ghana because we are soo familiar with them.

[@owususarforichard9905]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXLFoKBmorNnj9Esi=K39t5GNVUmLebLyb Since you have decided not to see what is going on in Ghana’s education let your kids friends and family stay away from Ghana education and foreigners will take over. Dey there and fool

[@africanchild2541]

The brainwashed bunch , nothing in Ghana or from Ghana, is any good.

[@cosmosgyimahbrempong6642]

Visit some of the schools and answer yourself, Sir. If the minister gets another 4 years, the Education in Ghana will transform the economy. I pray Dr. BAWUMIA chooses wisely.

[@ampofoboakye6752]

We don't cultivate a cocoa and harvest it the next day. What he is doing now is called domino-effect. You will get the results in a due couse.

[@gerttyapp3168]

Kwesi Pratt you done so well until you come back to your dear old cantankerous set in. This man should still be the education minister where he’s shining. Ghana education needs him desperately. The vice position will take his shine away.

[@rexumar6683]

[@richadare2369]

He isn’t speaking your usual Ghanaian English accent. American pronunciation is like that especially if you stayed in the western part of USA where he lived.

Is that all u could get from the interview?

Look at the lies. There was already free SHS before he became minister

[@Ghanadiaries]

Free education where? You guys believe in your own lies.

[@maameyaaley4739]

Where was the FSHS?? Are you normal? Didn’t NDC say this is not achievable and that it’s 419? Indeed you have short memories just like JDM said that is why you are able to even buy your 5 cedis data to express your ignorance here. Go and google search what NDC said about free SHS, as a 419 that is not achievable. All of a sudden you claim it was there. Ignorant people in self denial

[@GreatthingsshallH]

You are really a laughter to be held! PNDC/NDC has had 27years in administration, tell us what major shifts they brought to the education system, apart from the then malfunctioned 3yr JSS and 3yr Secondary Educational System they changed from the 4yr Middle School and 5/2 -O’ &A’Levels Secondary School Education?
