GTEC Directs Dr. Grace Ayensu-Danquah to Stop Using “Professor” Title The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has officially instructed Dr. Grace Ayensu-Danquah to desist from presenting herself as a professor, stating that her records do not support that title.  This decision follows the Commission’s assessment of documents provided by her representatives concerning her academic background.
