Doctor of Education is equivalent to doctor of pharmacy, and doctor of medical laboratory offered at UDS, Tamale. These programmes are more-or-less undergraduate programmes and not postgraduate.

And so, Mr. Ahmed does not hold a PhD and not be a Prof. based on his qualifications shared here.

Grace Ayensu-Danquah has more credibility than this criminal calling himself a Prof. Go and search online and you will find about 10 publications by Dr Grace Ayensu-Danquah. Ahmed Jinapor has no credibility. To be an Associate Professor in a public university, he should have at least 18 to 20 publications produced from Lecture rank to Associate Professor. What Grace Ayensu-Danquah has achieved in life as a medical doctor, Ahmed Jinapor has not achieved 25%. It is then political influence by his 2 brothers that has brought him this far. God and check the journal in which he published his 3 known papers - a predatory journal. He cannot compare himself with Associates from UG, KNUST and even UDS which have very stringent policy on promotion.

Doctor of Education, Doctor of.... etc is the same as Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and it is not the same as the Doctor of Pharmacy we do in Ghana here.

Many Master of Arts (MA) in the USA, Canada etc is the same as Master of Philosophy (MPhil) we do in Ghana. All you need to look out for is the official duration of the MA, if its 2 years with a thesis for the last year, that's same as MPhil.

Next, at UEW, progression from Lecturer to Senior Lecturer is 4 years and minimum 5 papers (it used to be 4 papers some time ago).

At UEW, progression from senior lecturer to associate professor is minimum 3 years and 7 papers (it used to be less, 4 or 5 papers/publications or so).

Associate Professor can use the title professor e.g Prof Attah Mills and many others.

Those searching for papers/publications of Prof Jinapor MUST note this. He officially changed his names from Ahmed Murtalla Abdulai somewhere 2016 or so. One of his brothers, the one in NPP also changed his name along the adulthood stage, I understand it was the family stuff to have them bear Jinapor. So search for papers bearing this former name too. They should also note that at UEW sometime ago, written modules for teaching the distance students were counted as publications for promotion. This was to encourage lecturers to write such modules. These modules are not online, only printed.

So, what is left for prof Jinapor to proof to the petitioner is that he has the requisite publications under UEW policies, 4 or 5 to be senior lecturer and 4/5 and 7 to be associate professor. Note that publications at UEW then wasn't just about papers available online but modules etc which may not be online.

I hope I have clarify many things.

I didn't justify anything for or against Prof Ayesu case. Let me tell you, I am a fan of prof Ayesu, and travelled far to go vote for her, and will vote for her in 2028 if she is performs as she is currently doing.

But try to know the differences between adjunct Assistant Professor and Associate professor, they are not the same. Assistant Professor from many cases from USA and Canada etc is like a senior lecturer in ghana. Check the USA Canada etc universities that have Assistant Professorial rank, they still have Associate Professorial rank and full professional ranks. In ghana's Professorial rank system, only associate professor and full professor can use the title Prof.

Also note that UEW is in ghana, and thus all the policies and practices done there RIGHTLY was approved by ghana educational system. So whether it was right or not, ghana cannot turn it back on what it approved then. However, ghana system can reject any title that is from a foreign system or country and say because of this and that, we won't recognise this and that. Ghana can say they don't recognise degrees from Harvard and that will be final. I hope that never happen.

Don't mingle emotions with fair explanation someone tries to present.

Also, don't import laws/policies/practices etc from foreign countries for Ghana. I expect you to rather have said ghana recognises assistant Professors as professor. Ghana doesn't, sorry.
I can see that you don't have manners to be debated with by your choice of words

Sanitising the ranking system by GTEC is good, but it needs to be done with decorum.

Ministry of health is these days also confusing the system with undergraduates calling themselves: Doctor Pharmacist, Doctor Nurse, Doctor Technician, Doctor Secretary etc

Check, I said it "used" to be. It is no more the case. Every system improves and tightens the requirements with time as it grows.
Maybe you should rather ask how those modules were written or what is in them. Again, don't do wrong comparison. Those modules were blindly peer reviewed just like a manuscript is subjected to. And I made that case for readers to know that going online to simply check for ones papers may not be a complete picture because we have a lot of local journals in ghana that wasn't online in the 2017 that Prof Jinapor said he had his Professorial rank. And the issue of module also came in

Also check if Harvard in its begging didn't have a lower requirement to progress from one rank to another.

There was a case in university of Ghana like that that even went to court and won, at least. I know of 1 or 2 cases in other universities in Ghana.
One needed a minimum of 2-year masters (in Ghana, it is MPhil but can be called differently from other countries), be a senior lecturer for 3 or 4 years of full time status and has some minimum number of papers.
Aside university of Ghana that implemented no PhD no senior lecturers and no associate professor long, other universities implemented this policy just a few years ago.
You can even read Prof Bafour Agyemang respond to GTEC when the latter wrote to him about his professorial rank.

He claims Doctor of Finance and Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) are professional doctorate and holders do not qualify to use them for promotion to professorial ranks. It has now embedded thay his terminal degree is Doctor of Education (EdD) which is also a professional doctorate. So on what grounds was he promoted to Associate Professor?

When he was appointed to GTEC, he was not an Associate Professor. He used the title "Dr" from 2020 to 2023 when he started Acting as GTEC DG before he started using the title "Prof". Now it has emerged that he was promoted to Associate Professor in 2017; granted that this is true, why did he not use the Prof title between 2017 and 2023? Was he using the Prof title when he was in UEW from 2017 to 2020? No, he did not use the title.

Now it is also the case that he submitted his appl7cation for promotion after he was seconded to GTEC as DDG, which is against the rules? Once you arrive on Secondment, you cannot apply for promotion. Even publications obtained during his Secondment may not count because he was not in active service in his primary employment. So there are so many questions that remain unanswered.

Lastly is about his publications. This Ahmed guy's publications are not visible in recognised data bases. A search in Google Scholar, Scopus, etc does not reveal any publications. Instead one will rathe4 see the publications of his brother, John Jinapor (the Minister of Energy), who is not academic. A deeper search on.the interenet brought out 3 papers, all published in 1 predatory journal, where he uses Ahmed Abdulai (Jinapor is missing). Any academic who publishes in predatory journals has not credibility. Whilst universities such as University of Ghana has very stringent promotions policy that must be satisfied by all academic staff, other universities such as UEW uses very less stringent guidelines for promotions, including just lecture notes and conference attendance. Meanwhile, all university lecturers are paid from the same source.

Ahmed Jinapor Abdulai has no credibility. He has bitten more than he can chew, and he should come clean before he goes after others.

In the universities in ghana, you are promoted from the date you submitted your application no matter how long the external assessment takes. We have cases in ghana where external assessment takes years. I know a case it took 5 years, though not conventional, but it happens.
When you are finally promoted, it is backdated to the date you put in the application, and your salary arrears is paid. During the assessment stage, you cannot use the rank, but when you are finally promoted, you back date it too.

I am also waiting as you to hear prof Jinapor justification for his credentials.

Whether he's still teaching or not doesn't matter.

I think a promotion by UEW is better than something foreign that we can't really prove.

Let's be proud of our own systems and structures, not another man's.

In all these, l understand why he is interested in other people's titles. This in itself is cocky and shows his lack of confidence! Doctor of education is such a simple doctorate to obtain abroad especially in the US. It is an "inferior" easy to obtain degree. Stop being a titles Gestapo and let people be. You want to be the only person to be called professor, maybe you think that will make the young ladies fall for you. When people behave the way you are doing publicly, it tells you that they have a problem with their self confidence! Poor guy!

In fact from the day l heard that he was a Dr at Winneba l knew there will be contestation one day.

Are we being told that he studied religion, international relations then to education?
So where is his specialty?

Are we also being told he was promoted to Senior Lecturer within 4yrs, and in within 3-4yrs straight to Professorship without going through Associate Professor?

Please are you saying he became Professor without any research, theses and publications?

No peer review of his works?
Please at what point did he enter GTEC? Did work there as full time or what and at what period was he lecturing at Winneba?

Was he a full time Lecturer or Part-time? If part time when was he promoted as a part-time Lecturer to Professor?

Please we need more clarifications?

The petition appears to have a point when you consider what he has published. He virtually has no respectable publication to warrant that title. But you have to question the awarding institution, not him.

So Jinapor was appointed Lecturer in 2010, and became Associate Professor in 2017. Seven years! Waao! Something doesn't add up.

Look at our posture towards "illegal mining" which is currently destroying the nation alarmingly. Our old folks knew gold is everywhere in Ghana but did not "dig it at all costs" to destroy the environment. Instead, knowing it was part of nature's gift to the land, they farmed and left but look at us today, with all our educational background, we are the behaving as if there will be no tomorrow and we should end our existence on this planet before next year.

Right now, we have thousands of "Professors" in Ghana than before, but this is the time our sense of thinking is going "anticlockwise". These professors are just interested in acquiring government jobs then act insanely.

Those whose titles are striped off pursued their programs online and through academic sessions. It's very unfortunate to be by gtec that those over sea universities are not recognized.
GTEC should embark on public education to inform Ghanaians that are EDUCATIONAL THIRSTY and water to quench it.

The former VC, one Okoe also has the same fake degrees. In fact, 90% of professors in UPSA are fake and shallow. GTEC should carry out serious forensic investigation into holders of degrees of UPSA before they dilutd education in Ghana.
