Information available to The Daily Searchlight newspaper indicates that the Managing Editor of The Insight newspaper, Mr. Kwesi Pratt Jnr., Ghana�s leading socialist, is allegedly paying an amount of 560 million old cedis a year to enable her daughter acquire the best education in th e United Kingdom.
Maame Ama Pratt, who a few years ago was a student at the University of Ghana, Legon, is currently studying law at the Buckingham University, a privately owned university in the United Kingdom.
According to information, Mr. Pratt, who is best known to be a social democrat journalist and doubles as a member of the Convention People�s Party (CPP), allegedly pays a whooping �22,760 (GH�56,900) per annum for his daughter�s education in the private British university.
Well noted for his viscerally opposition to everything that has something to do with UP/NPP�s property owning or profligacy, The Insight Managing Editor finds it apparently convenient to pay such huge pounds sterling in Atta Mills led Government to cater for his daughter�s expensive fees abroad.
When the Daily Searchlight newspaper called his office to speak to him about the information, one Kwesi Doudu who described himself as Editor of The Insight, stated that his boss was in a meeting.
According to him, his boss asked him to collect whatever information the paper wanted on a piece of paper so that he could respond after his meeting - but he failed to honour his promise.
As a staunch executive member of the Socialist Forum and the Committee for Joint Action (CJA) who accused the Kufuor administration of profligacy spending, one would have thought that Mr. Pratt would not have involved himself in the very �crimes� he constantly accused others of having committed.
Most Ghanaians would recall that Mr. Pratt raised moral issues about the purchase of a hotel owned by the son of the then President, John Agyekum Kufuor and also vehemently opposed the sale of Ghana Telecom to a foreign company (Vodafone).
Our checks have revealed that Buckingham is a very unique institution. It is the only independent university in the UK with a Royal Charter and probably the smallest in terms of population around 1,000 students. Honours degrees are achieved in two intensive years of study. The school has a small class sizes, with a student-academic staff ratio of 8:1 and the Oxbridge style tutorial groups are often personalized and always exhilarating.
The University campus is well known for being one of the most attractive locations in the region. The Great Ouse River, home of much wildlife, flows through the heart of the campus. Much of the school�s teaching takes place in their restored buildings such as the Franciscan Building, formerly a friary, and, Chandos Road Building, a converted turn-of-the-century milk factory, while students can also enjoy the hunter Street Library, once a military barracks.
Each student mixes with 89 other different nationalities and so being at Buckingham is just like being in a mini global village. These contacts, acquaintances and friendships, carry on long after life at Buckingham is over.

Plis to take my kids abroad to study and i have already set up funds towards that. so those backwards people who dont want something good for your children sit there and be writing about us. all the politicians are taking their children to schools in abroad and if you will not save to do same for your child then be there. they know what is good in that. Y3 ko agya mo.

Akuffo Addo, Rawlings, Mahama, Kuffour were former Presidents and current is Akuffo Addo, this big men stole Ghana Jewelries for free, and most of their children live in the states, all attackers should chase those names i listed and forget one man contractor who forced and send daughter to high education. Pratt you are good man, congratulation.
Thos who follow NDC and NPP blindly, the politicians are able to send their kids out of the messs they create in this country. Be wise! If you think you are an NPP or NDC. Kwesi Pratt and kweku baako are cashing in big time on the fulishness of NPP NDC supporters.
CHRIS AQUAH AND CO, WHEN YOU SAW THE HEADING, WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO READ FROM THE CONTENT, WAS IT THE CREATION OF EARTH OR THE FALLEN OF THE BELEN WALL,
This is one of the most academic and professional liability article I’ve ever wasted my time to read ! Some of us have no relation or business to do with politics and public social issues, but we pay fees abroad more than this chicken change money this paper is making noise about here.
The writer is very ***barred word***! If Kwesi Pratt gives his daughter best of education, who benefits? Wouldn't the lady be an asset to Ghana in the future? Think! think!! think!!!!!!!! guyssssssssssssssssss
The most ***barred word*** piece of article ever posted. It would have been newsworthy if Kwesi Pratt is unable to support his daughter to acquire higher education. An over 60 year old man who has worked so hard and owns and runs his newspaper? Peacefmonline should get serious. What did you want to achieve with such a naive article?
There is nothing wrong with Mr Pratt giving his daughter the best education possible,but as a true social democrat and a principled man,he should have sent Maame Ama Pratt to Cuba,Russia,Ukraine I mean the eastern block.Kwesi practice what you preach,massa.
There is nothing wrong. How much does he earn from the sales of his papers? Prosperity will jude us all.
