Nana Yaw, allow people to do their work of cleaning the system. If you want to be addressed 'Dr' then WARN IT . Don't appropriate it to yourself.

If you want to legally use the title PROFESSOR or DOCTOR with no academic credentials, just go and swear an affidavit before a Commissioner of Oaths to change your name; add PROFESSOR or DOCTOR as first name to your name.

Publish your new name in Ghana Gazette. Then go to the National Identification Authority (NIA) for a new Ghana Card. Simple. That's the law.

GTEC cannot challenge your Prof. or Dr. title because it's your name. There is no law in Ghana that states that you cannot adapt Professor or Doctor as your first name.

I love this suggestion. It's the best way to call yourself a Dr" or a "Professor ". A suggestion for people like Hassan Ayariga, Ken Ashigbey, Joyce Aryee and the rest.

Nana Yaw envy, hatred and stupidity will kill your spirit. Why do you think these should not be regulated. Continue making illiterate noises. The time is coming when your children, nephew’s and nieces will be refused entry into higher institutions abroad because of forgery and fake titles in GHANA. The situation is alarming. Most of the high profile ones like GRACE AYENSU DANKWA, TANKO COMPUTER, SOME NDC CHAIRMAN IN CENTRAL REGION AND OTHER NDC APPOINTEES. The partisan media is quiet and don’t want to expose these charlatans. Fools, vagabonds and idiots like Nana Yaw above are happy with a system full of bloggers, tiktokers, uneducated foot soldiers and ignorant brigades who have been brainwashed to continue being backward and stupid. THE COUNTRY WILL REAP THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS.

What is the core mandate of this institution?. It looks like they are fighting a lot of people over titles than doing any other thing.

Good job GTEC! Go after the managing director of GHANA NUT. The guy is misusing an honorary degree! Another revelation is that “Professor” Atteyfuah, the former boss who was in charge of the Ghana Card didn’t earn the title “Prof” though he taught briefly at GIMPA.

They should be investigating private universities, especially those based in Kumasi. The rot they'll uncover will blow their minds... from using different lecturers for accreditation purposes and employing less qualified ones for the real work, etc. GTEC should up its regulatory game. It is not just about naming and shaming those with fake titles.

The GTEC should hold the Press primarily responsible for referring to people as
"DR' because of "sokolafia". Otherwise why should they continue to use "DR" for some PASTORS, TRADITIONAL RULERS AND BUSINESSMEN who may NOT be able to write even a page about themselves. This nonsense and insult to people should stop. The GTEC could identify all such people assemble them and give them simple topics like " MYSELF ", MY WORK AND ITS IMPACT ON SOCIETY ", "THE MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE" etc.to write about within a time frame of about one hour .They themselves will run away from the "DR" title and leave their sandals/shoes behind (apologies to President Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah)

Bloggers who don't know anything about fake and honorary titles are those fueling this development. Hear them: Dr Dr Kwaku Oteng, Dr Osei Kwame Despite and his brother: Dr Spio-Garbrah; Dr Obinin; Dr Agraaa: Prof Safo Kantaka: Dr Hassan Ayariga: Dr Ashigbey; Dr Computer: etc . The list goes on!

When will this stop. Is it by force to force a 'Dr' on one's name?

This is a shame. The use of these fake qualifications are common with the political class. All top politicians and church leaders and pastors all prefer to use the title Dr. why oh why.

GTEC, please turn your attention to some herbalists who are the title Dr arbitrary. They think that hanging stethoscope around their necks make them become medical doctors. They are not professional medical practitioners and they have not received formal education that has earned them certificates to practice as medical officers.

In Ghana, even herbalists, falsely call themselves Doctors to mislead people.
