Ghana's academic landscape is set for a major cleanup, as the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has outlined the next steps in its efforts to curb the widespread misuse of honorary titles.
Professor Augustine Ocloo, Deputy Director-General of GTEC, has issued a stern warning, indicating that individuals misrepresenting unearned accolades face not only the revocation of their honours but also potential legal sanctions.
In an exclusive interview with MyJoyOnline, Professor Ocloo articulated GTEC's unwavering stance, clarifying that such titles are purely ceremonial recognitions, not earned academic qualifications.
GTEC, which was reconstituted around 2020 from the former National Accreditation Board (NAB) and National Commission for Tertiary Education (NCTE), has transitioned from periodic advisories to direct enforcement.
