The number of people interested in honorary doctorates has dropped. This change happened after the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) started cracking down on how these titles are given out.
Professor Ahmed Jinapor, who leads GTEC, said that recent information shows fewer people are trying to get honorary degrees.
He explained that this is a direct result of the commission's efforts to stop unfair practices and misuse of honorary titles.
GTEC has been working to ensure that honorary doctorates are awarded appropriately.
The commission's focus is on upholding the integrity of academic distinctions.
This action by GTEC aims to restore value and respect to honorary doctorates.
Professor Jinapor indicated that the decline in interest is a positive sign that their measures are effective.
