Nkrumah went to the university and started his PhD but didn’t complete it. He then accepted honorary doctorate from the university of Pennsylvania. He actually went to university to study unlike many people we know who never attempted any higher education but call themselves experts and doctors. The government should clamp down on all fake degrees. Fake degree holders are destroying the country because they don’t have the education and the experience but occupy high positions. It is a serious matter.

Lula Da Silva of Brazil and Jacob Zumah of South Africa may not be highly educated but they pushed their respective countries higher economically. They may be Corrupt though but better than Ghana's PhD holders.

Keep quiet. Alumni is nothing. You can call yourself anything. No one has asked you to recognise any alumni.

Only academically weak ppl are afraid of others academic titles. Personally I don't regard ppl like Randy Abbey, Cassiel Ato Forson or Ofosu Ampofo.All of them bought their PhDs.NDC can sell higher in public but we know them.

My journey of a doctorate degree (Ph.D) started like this. 4 years at KNUST, Ghana (BSc), 2 years at Uni. of British Columbia, Canada (MSc) and 6 years (normal) at McGill Uni., Canada (Ph.D).
So those calling themselves Dr with honour must be careful. Hence those using Dr (Med), Dr (Dent) and Dr (Pharm D) must be looked at (4years +2years study). It is equivalent to MSc. not doctorate. It is not the same as Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D). GTEC must address this also...

Our former MP spent a few weeks at some Harvard Executive course and calls herself an alum. I set the record for fastest statistics doctoral qualifying time in school history (Harvard KSG, 1995) yet she thinks she is my academic equal.

How about those who get first class and get admitted to do MPhil/PhD combined in 4 years? Let’s be careful. All the fingers are not the same. 6 years to do PhD is not the standard. 3 years is the minimum

The important thing is NOT how long your course was or whether you did attend any tertiary institution for any reason or purpose. The MOST important thing is, what has one accomplished after being educated and what is ones moral standing in society? We worship titles and qualifications too much to our own disadvantage. In other much more developed societies, one never hears of people referring to themselves with all sorts of academic titles in the public domain. Is the unnecessary public flouting of titles - both academic and professional, a symptom of acute inferiority complex? Meanwhile there is very little substantial material evidence in the public domain to attest for all the titles flying about.

GTEC, take them to firing squad straight. No legal action. People have gone mad attempting to earn a PhD. And those that managed to earn it are semi-mad or unhinged.

What is wrong with that? There is no law in the world that denies a person from using an academic title. Although I have not attended any school at all, I may call myself Dr Bunbum or Professor Bunbum as long as I do not use or hold this title to carry out an official, legal and professional activity.

Not anybody at all can attend courses in such Universities please. Why are you crying for the bereaved.

I agree with VICKY on this matter. I think the use of “Fake” and honorary degrees should be OUTLAWED. It should be Declared as an act of FRAUD . Those with Honorary Degrees should always add ( Honorary) like a retired general, major etc…. I am afraid our society has created this illusion of academic superiority hence the need for some people in Desperation to append fake letters to their names. I have met some well educated people with academic degrees in Ghana who never added any of their academic titles to their names . OfCourse EMPTY BARRELS Always Make NOISES.

You are exactly right. How can three weeks study makes one alumni let alone his prestige institutions. Those people should be ashamed of themselves.
