GTEC to prosecute use of fake academic titles

The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) is intensifying its crackdown on the misuse of academic titles, announcing plans to begin prosecuting individuals and institutions fraudulently claiming degrees or qualifications they have not earned.

This initiative, according to the Commission, is aimed at preserving the integrity of Ghana’s tertiary education system, which faces increasing threats from the improper use of titles such as “Doctor” and “Professor”—particularly by those who acquire honorary degrees from unaccredited institutions.

During a media briefing, Prof. Jinapor also reiterated that only accredited institutions in Ghana are authorized to confer honorary degrees, and even then, recipients are not permitted to represent themselves as formally qualified through academic study.

He also directed a stern warning to media organizations, urging them to verify academic claims before granting platforms or publicity.

He concluded that while GTEC began with public advisories and engagement, prosecutions will now be employed to deter further abuse.

“I have had people in academia and high offices argue otherwise, but for the avoidance of doubt, using such titles based on honorary degrees violates Act 1023,” he added. “These acts constitute public deception and will be prosecuted accordingly.”
