This power of assessment, that can determine whether a person should be
allowed to immigrate, is given to an organisation that does not
recognise a PostGraduate Diploma as being at at least the same level as
a pass degree?
How can an organisation be qualified to offer an assessment of the
standing of tertiary qualifications, when it fails to recognise that a
PostGraduate Diploma is higher than a pass degree awarded by the same
institution, in the same field?
