The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) is forcefully refuting claims about targeting specific individuals in its intensified crackdown on the misuse of honorary titles.
Instead, the regulatory body says its mission is a broader, necessary effort to safeguard academic integrity across the nation's tertiary education landscape.
Member of Parliament for Gomoa East, Desmond De-Graft Paitoo, one of many under GTEC's scrutiny for the use of the 'Dr' title, had accused the regulatory body of embarking on an agenda.
In a letter, GTEC had asked the legislator to confirm the institution that awarded him the doctorate, whether it was earned or honorary, and the date of conferment.
