In order to lecture in Ghanaian universities, the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) requires that a person should have a terminal degree i.e. a PhD.
However, a person can lecture with a researched Master’s degree. The research component of the master’s degree must be of at least one year duration. Such a degree includes an MPhil (Master of Philosophy).
With the growing popularity of MA, MBA and M.Sc. degrees in the country, it is expected that the requirement may generate an interest in the acquisition of MPhil degrees, which are still not as popular outside the field of the Arts.
GTEC seems to want to update Ghanaian university standards to the global level.
If they “update” the lecturing standards, it will benefit the students more.

Lecturing is an advance teaching so I feel every lecturer should have a teaching cert. In addition to which ever qualification
Most schools offer training in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education – for their lecturers.bi have attended one before, and this August I will be in another week-long training session.
I am happy about these training because I feel my B.Ed is not enough to teach at the uni level.
