I never knew that this Vermawor is such a damn fool. He should be ashamed and be well educated that one cannot use Professional Titles unless they are earned or awarded. Efo Jeremiah John Rawlings and some Ghanaians were awarded Doctorate Degrees but because they did not earned them, they did not, and do not refer to themselves with them. That is just Common Sense. Now we have so many people with the Doctorate Degree to their names but can’t make up a single sentence. Does Vermawor know and understand what is meant by impersonation?

I totally see the point raised by Barker Vormawor. I recently applied to be an adjunct Professor at a university here in the US. Right from the start during my processing, the school started calling me "Professor" and told me straight UP that I am a professor with them. You see, GTEC's stance is definitely problematic because in the US, the lecturer even with a master's degree is referred to as a professor by his students and the academic board mostly referred to as "Faculty" which again could mean something different in other schools. GTEC is targeting people, and they need to cut the bullshit. Somebody could be called even Dr. for various reasons and that's it. I remember a truck driver in a company my big brother worked with in the past was called Doctor for how good he was. GTEC should just stick to what is expected of them and stop their acts of trying to disgrace people for the wrong reasons. Dr. Ayensu in this case is an Adjunct Professor according to the US standards but you called her a parttime lecturer in your right up and explanation for calling her out. That parttime lecturer phrase does not exist in the US and when you're applying for that position in an US University, it is called an "ADJUNCT PROFESSOR" position whether you like it or not. GTEC, get it together...PLEASE!

I am an academic in the American system. Instead of calling someone who lectures in a university lecturer as we do in Ghana they use the term college professor. BUT that's not the same as having the rank of professor. You have to have the relevant experience and publications to be promoted to that rank. You are an adjunct professor with the rank of lecturer or assistant professor. You are not a full professor sir.

I think that you're very uninformed about the system in the U.S. Please, note that an adjunct professor is not an academic title conferred by one university that a person can carry with him or her to another university, let alone, another country or jurisdiction. For example: if you were hired by University A to an adjunct position, you cannot claim that you hold an adjunct professor academic title when applying for a similar position in University B, or another country. The same applies to an Assistant Professor position. But once a scholar is conferred with an Associate Professor position and above, that is regarded a transferrable position in all situations. As for the truck driver Dr analogy, the least said about it, the better. GTEC is doing a very good job and must be supported to do more, because Ghana is polluted with so many Drs and Professors. And you will find them as Apostle/Bishop/Archbishop/Nana/etc. Dr/Professor this or that, but can't provide details of the awarding institution. This is chaotic.

I think all this farce about titles stem from the fact that Ghana is an appelative society. Colonialism and it's spin off of education sunk deep in our minds that only those who go to school and earn certificates and more because they are able to speak English are worthy of respect and admiration. So a Ph.D in classis from Oxford who contributes nothing to the productive sector of the economy is regarded more than a farmer who never went to school and have farms that employ 6000 people. Ask those GITEC guys what really has all the farce about academic qualifications done to a corrupt and dirty country like Ghana.

What fake US school called you a professor before hiring you? Trump University or U of Phoenix? U of P hired me to teach macroeconomics.

You won't find macro on any of my college transcripts. I started at micro and was working on my Harvard PhD in statistics. I accused U of P of defrauding its students by knowingly and willingly hiring unqualified people to teach.

If Ghana was serious, I'd file one against GIMPA for deceiving the public. The Takoradi Academic Dean is listed as Dr. but has not yet even applied to a doctoral program.

You see that where you get things wrong. Azuma Nelson does not include Prof in his official name or document. There are so many being called 'DR' and even Prof but those are not official title that they attach to their name. It's only when the individuals begin to use those titles in official capacity especially in academia that when GTEC has issues. If you have been observant you would have realised that, that Rashid Tanko Computer guy is not using the title Dr attach to his name?
In our part of the world people seem to abuse every aspect of laws and regulations and I think GTEC should continue. They might get some wrong but at least people would be cautions when trying to do things that the laws don't permit them.

It's unethical for some Ghanaians to be using titles they did not earn. A Ph.D is a research degree, which takes 4-6 years to earn. An adjunct Assistant Professor is not a tenure-track position so the MP did not earn the Professor title. A professor is a University teacher and one needs an appointment to that posion. In the US you start with a tenure-tract Assistant Professor before promotion to Associate Professor, and the to Full Professor based on merit. The criteria for these are clear.

Nobody has said Dr Grace Ayensu has no capacity to be a professor or she is a fake professor.
The fact that you don’t need a special degree to be a professor, you can’t challenge Dr Grace in any Court.
Let them go to court and let’s see the evidence they can providence before the law.
If you don’t respect American titles in Ghana,it doesn’t mean that their fake.Tnx.

This mental wreckage has resurfaced again with his dirty unkempt face. Look at his emolakpaaa like a baobab tree that has lost all it's leaves during the harmattan. I pray a quack doctor like Sansa Daley will inject him with a fake drug, then he'll learn sense. Even if there is no law now, a serious parliament should immediately pass a law that criminalizes the bearing of fake degrees and titles. Gbemela, dzimakpla tsukunor, emonyanwu. Nonsense. Just look at his dirty face. Emophodi. He doesn't speak any sense. Fool.

At long last someone has put this issue in its proper perspective. GTEC's threats are empty. They cannot stand in any proper court of law.

The explanations have been given fully in this article.

Barker Vormawor, just return the bribes you have taken to defend those academic dishonesty to their owners. Uou are threading a very dangerous path. How can one abrogated to himself a doctorate degree of which he doesn't have the competence? You are a fraud and a very dishonest person. Go to court if you think the institution flushing out those with fake degree have no legal rights. Shame on you!

And where does the law empower any individual to take it upon himself/herself an academic title he/she doesn't qualify for? Your argument is horrible and shallow as a lawyer.

It's true, what Barker is saying. The title Professorship, is used or given to people according to where one attends school. Even in France, Ivory Coast, near Ghana, teachers from JHS to university are called professors even though, they didn't actually finish all the courses at the tertiary levels. They are called so, simply because they are knowledge givers.

GTEC is doing a fantastic job of sanitizing the Ghanaian society that’s saturated with fake academic degrees and titles. It’s not true that in the USA anyone who teaches at a university earns the title professor. One has to go through a continuous assessment of one’s publications, grants, teaching, and service for period of not less than 5 years before a promotion to Associate Professor. A similar assessment is undertaken before one is promoted to a full professor position. The entire process takes not less than 15 years. These assessments have departmental, college, and external components. All these components must agree on the promotion at each level. Adjunct professors are part-time lecturers who don’t have any foothold in the tenure system and can never be promoted as full professors.

The Ghana Education Ministry under the sector minister must form a regulatory body to oversee and verify all qualifications, degrees and other educational titles in Ghana. There are just too many Ghanaians claiming to have acquired degrees that are fake . There are many people with doctorates in Ghana than any of the lower degrees . Some Ghanaians also bestow on them selves academic degrees that they did not earn . Ghana must have a registry with the names and academic credentials of all those who have graduated and have been awarded those qualifications. There are just too many crooks in the country with fake credentials and Ghanaians have the right to know who is what . Oliver Barker should leave GTEC alone to fish out the crooks in the system.

People have not worked many years for titles but are using these titles. Shame on them all. If you want it, go hit the books and spend sleepless nights. You think it is that easy? It's illegal, period!
