  Why give people the honorary degrees in the first place? Stop giving people those degrees dassourrr!!! You cannot enforce the usage yet you are giving them to people. Prevention is better than cure.

  The essence of higher education is to effect change in society. If as PhD holders in our universities you can't change our society but only flaunt those academic titles in our faces, and jealously guard them against their usage of those titles, then those titles are as useless as those wannabe Professors and Doctorate degree holders.

  Did you cast your vote in favor of PhDs and Professors? Or did you simply provide them with funding to pursue groundbreaking research that ultimately didn't materialize? It's important to recognize that these academics are doing the best they can with the limited resources available to them, which often come from European and North American sources. If there is insufficient investment in research, we cannot realistically expect to see substantial evidence of impact.
  
  As the saying goes, "He who pays the piper calls the tune." When foreign entities invest in Ghanaian academic research, it's naïve to assume that the outcomes will necessarily align with the interests of local communities or the politicians you might support, many of whom may act recklessly or unethically. In this complex landscape, we must critically assess how funding and accountability influence research directions and outcomes, and advocate for a more sustainable and equitable investment in our own academic institutions.une."

  Samuel Sarpong was PE teacher, also teaching Twi. He then became an activist for People's Defence Committees (PDC) and Committees for the Defence of the Revolution (CDR). How did he become doctor? Where did Murtala Mohammed get his doctorate? Is it Mount Crest University at Kanda?

  Ndc supporters are against the way GTEC is going after people with fake degrees. They don’t have a single person with a genuine doctorate degree or professorship. Even their only hope who’s the vice president will be exposed soon.

  Who told UTAG that academic titles are earned in this country? One of my lecturers at the university once told us that if you have money, you can easily buy certificates. Give us a break.

  This is what happens when we place so much importance and reliance on theory certificates rather than using pragmatic approach in developing a nation like Ghana. I keep saying that, theory PHDs and Professors could not be a solution to the country's numerous deficits. Let's shift much of our attention to Technical Educations to help solve our physical problems.

  Do you know how I suffered to get Dr Fadda Dickson and Doctor Abeiku Santana get some hungry white men to give me this title. I won’t stop using it. I am Doctor, Ofori Sarpong too is a Doctor and Fadda Dickson too. Very soon Roger Quatey will also become a Doctor. I declare Doctor on every person who visits my museum at East Legon to watch my cars.

  There's too much of lawlessness in Ghana.Some people are calling themselves doctors, professors bishops, kings without any justification and it's good that GTEC has stepped in to regulate the academic environment

  Instead of UTAG, GTEC and others proud of hearing themselves talk or organize news conferences they should, if capable of learning from the past and from the mistakes of others, explore potential or feasible solutions if we truly want to put an end to whatever it is about titles that bother us or the fake certificates that chaps our hide in Ghana.
  
  It is quite interesting to me how members of parliament, some in the civil and public services can and do cite laws, trends and events happening abroad yet cannot figure out how those nations such as Canada, EU nations, the USA, and many other nations have minimized the number of people operating with fraudulent tertiary and postgraduate certificates.
  
  One must wonder out loud why Ghana, a nation with its education system run by a singular Ministry of Education, cannot implement credentials verification system from all institutions within the borders of Ghana or from people seeking government work who present credentials from outside of Ghana.

  Set up a centralized system to check degrees instantly, some universities have scan codes though but it doesn't bear the students name and program. Improve on it.
