Same in South Africa. BSc honours is required if you want to do a masters or anything further. In the sciences, a BSc on its own only qualifies you to be a lab tech.

Here you can go to Masters with a straight Bachelor's degree; but to get into a PhD program you need to take Honours. (I was encouraged to take a PhD and decided that I am tired of poverty).
