PGD helps to deviate into education proper in the course you've studied. Even with your Ph.D, you have to get your PGD to lecture in institutions or to teach in high school
PGD as stepping stone to attain M.sc for those with a CGPA below 3.00 is incorrect.

A pal of mine graduated with a CGPA below 3.00 and presently he's almost done with his M.sc program in Moscow, plus he's starting his Ph.D this year without ever knowing anything as PGD.

Another instance is of a close young lady that graduated with a 3rd class, lost hope just like the OP and went for PGD in order to deviate from being just a graduate of Macro Biology to being an educationist in Macro biology which qualifies her to lecture in that field. Luckily for her she was admitted for M.sc even in a Nigerian university without tendering her PGD certificate.

The first guy of a CGPA bellow 3.0 did his M.sc without any PGD.
The other lady with a 3rd class was admitted for her M.sc program even in a Nigerian University. Did her PGD not for M.sc but to become an educationist in that field.



There are guys who went for PGD with their HND and even OND certificate. Exceptional cases are those who added education to their main course in the university, because PGD curriculum has been included while in uni, but are limited to lecturing or teaching and not as a professional of their course but educationist.

post gradute diploma PGD allow HND holder and degree with low Cgp to apply for M.sc while Post graduate diploma in education PGDE make you qualify teacher
