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.

[@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

[@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.

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😅🎉

[@alimi-yaoadam1667]

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

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.

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

[@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

[@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

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

[@hamd772]

Beautiful interview!

[@SmithAdjeiBaafi]

[@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

[@edwardbamfo-darko]

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

[@sharpsharp-q4w]

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.

[@godfredakati]

[@emmanuelaopoku]

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.

[@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.

[@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!
