The day we can be sure that each and every person has access to education, we will be able to make education mandatory for politicians. Otherwise the same old problem will arise, people will certainly come up with the argument that such a rule indirectly prohibits those who due to lack of resources are uneducated, from entering politics and presenting their views and lending a hand for the betterment of their own country. So such a thing is kind of impractical when it comes to India, we are yet to deal with illiteracy.

Actually there is no need for this type or restriction. We can't say that a very good leader in not eligible for politics because of he is not educated. All need is that it must be good listener and good decision maker and have ability to read and understand of thing and for all these qualities education criteria is not necessary.

Its very important for us to know everyone must be educated. If a person is sapient, educated, indomitable, upright or honest, then he must cry up to go in politics. India where there were great leaders like, chandragupta maurya, lord rama, shantanu, king dashrath etc were born were educated and had all virtues of being leaders. Without education it is difficult to know what is right and what is wrong ? unless you are educated ones, you can not run the nation. In my opinion education is important not only for leaders but also for common man. According to be one must get through at least MA in political, law and economics so that he must do improvement in these domain of his nation.

I agree with above opinions, a politician should have basic knowledge, he must be honest, apart from these he should be a good listener, a good decision maker etc. But this is not only the solution to our problem, there should be public interest and opinions in politics, we should be aware of the things happening around us. Because today we are only involved in our own life and work as a result we are just claiming the Indian system for every issues.

I don't have an opinion that a certain educational qualification is necessary for a politician. All that they require is a bit of practical knowledge which comes from experiences. Education plays a major role in developing such skills but is not necessary that such brilliance can only come through proper education. However, in India it has become a common thing that senseless people come into politics only because of money or muscle power. To prevent this we can easily conduct tests to judge the analytical and practical skills of a person who aspires to become a politician, this will be sort of an aptitude test which has no connection with academics but with just basic skills that a person actually capable of ruling can easily acquire over time which they can give in their own language given they at least know how to read and write.

Hi friends, I am a little bit strict person with those who don't think making educational qualification mandatory for the politicians. I think those people should not be given another chance to say anything on such an important matter. I think those people need more better education in order to discuss such an important matter. We should not make ourselves happy and proud of our country where prevails so much corruption. The outside world know about us and please take it for granted that the outside world would not respect corrupt people. The formula for becoming a good politician is : school education + college/university education + good moral character + strict laws + pass through weekly performance + suspended for talking shit + banned talking irrelevant and unrelated issues + a number (1 to 10) should be given to each politician's brain level so that the people weigh them as per their brain level + many more things.

We are civilized people and we are living in a country which advocates democracy. A group of elected leaders run this country but unfortunately some of them indulge themselves into corruption for instance 2G scams, Colgate and so on. They were educated enough to perform such acts. My point is, today education doesn't guarantees wisdom and moral values at all. We should expect our politician to hold a good educational background but above all they must possess a good moral values and character. Lastly I don't thing that our country needs so many political parties.

My dear group members, I strongly believe that only education qualification is not enough for politicians especially in our country where the person is categorized just on basis of marks. Education is not limited to only study or bookish knowledge. It includes a persons ability to listen, think and take fruitful decisions. It is not necessary that a person getting excellent marks is also a good planner and decision taker. A combination of the two is needed for a person to become a great politician. Mere having an educational qualification does not make a person capable enough to pass bill and make laws for such a big country. So for a country to prosper the leaders should not only be qualified but also a good thinker, decision taker and manager.

What is education? Is doing PG or Ph.D defines an educated person. Well that is not really essential to become a politician. In my view, a person who have the agility, who abide to his/her country can be a politician. He/She must know how to communicate with people, their problems and their views towards the country. Every person is educated, if he/she is having the conscience about what to do for their country. FOR INSTANCE, take ANNA HAZARE, he only completed his 7th grade, but he is a great social reformer and an activist, who is having peoples voice. Every youth followed him and they are professionally educated people. So why those educated people supported an uneducated. ?

In my point of view educational qualification is very necessary for a politician. Because he/she has a greatest responsibility to frame laws and rule our mother country. In our country even for a clerk job we need a minimum education qualification, then why not for a politician. Nowadays the only qualification for politics is money and manpower. The most of highly educated people hesitates to enter into politics, so only our country is still not achieved status as developed country. If educated persons enter in politics, our nation can grow faster.

According to my point of view educational qualification is mandatory for all people included with politicians. Because education is the basic parameter of any country, due to this we can observe which country is developed or developing. Main point is that education directly effect on our economic condition of country. As for example, if anyone want to become a clerk of bank region then he has to pass the graduate exam with required percentage for applying for this post, these criteria is keeping because he could handle the responsibility which is occurring in job. Similarly politicians have to handle the big responsibility of state and country. So it is required the educational qualification for politicians.

Hello Friends In my point educational qualification is not mandatory for politicians. I just give an example those people who are ruled in our from past 1947 are leaders some of them are educated and other people are there but they ruled our country. And the leader ship qualities are coming from by birth only. The person who ruled our world none other than Alexander is not much educated but he is a great leader. But in those days they fight with an honor and for their people but now a days the Politicians are ruling for their money and other things. These people not having any morale values the morale values will be learn form education system only. The person he/she educated/uneducated must have respect towards their own country.

I totally have to disagree that education makes men for see things and value things better. Talk about Bill Gates, Henry Ford, Albert Einstein and many more throughout history.

Only this thing (education) is not enough they have also another qualifications like sincerity, corruption free. And also understand the people's problem by humanity. In case of educated persons, take more number of educated politicians is in uncorrupted cases like 2G spectrum cases. Some times higher educational qualification is also not compulsory. See an examples before independence number of uneducated people were doing fight against British. In today's in India take Anna hazard's doing fight against corruption to do make an India corruption free. His trying to put a local bill against corruption in parliament but it is not passed.

No doubt education makes a man broad minded, enhance his personality and groom him. This is education which make a man thoughtful. But just well education is not a fix criteria to analize a leader. There are some other qualities which makes him perfect like, he must be honest, hard-working. Sincere, corruption free, who think about people welfare and benefits etc. And most important having strong leadership qualities. There are so many leaders who are well qualified still they are corrupt and its recent example is Mr. A. Raja who is one of the most corrupt leader and involved in multi-crores 2G scam. But its doesn't mean education is secondary thing that there should be a fixed standard of education qualification for politician. We see so many highly qualified IPS, IAS, etc. Who works for these uneducated persons. Though these administrative personnel are highly qualified yet they have to work under the pressure of these uneducated politicians. They even cannot take decisions independently and just become the puppet of these uneducated politicians. This is all because of our unawareness. During the time of elections we give vote to these uneducated, corrupt and biased leaders and became slave of them. So, we need good and honest leader like Mahatma Gandhi, Netaji Subhash Chander Bose etc. And in modern time like Anna ji. Anna ji who is not so qualified yet he is trying to make our country corruption free. Thus, we need a politician who can represent common man and that is possible when our leader would be educated at certain extent and as well as honest and think for welfare of our country.

If we look at other countries growth is up day by day, in these circumstances if we want compete with those countries first of all we need a power democracy to drive our country. ! This can be possible only through politics with educated minds. Of course, only educated one will have become representative for people.

First of all I want to thank all of you for giving your thoughts. But in my opinion, the education is not only criteria to be a politician. A current example of anna hajare is front of us. He is a man who is just 7th class passed. But he is honest, he thinks about the country's progress. He is fighting for our countrymen just for a good cause and people are supporting him. In his age an educated but irresponsible person simply lives on his pension. If a politician who is highly educated but corrupted, criminal or goon then he would never serve his country well.

Hello friends I think this a very good topic to discuss on. Let me have this opportunity to start this topic. I think government should keep a optimum level of education for all the politicians to enter into the politics, reason to this is being a politician they have to responsibility to build the nation and a leader should have a basic knowledge of all the streams over which they are working.

Politicians are the leaders of our nation. So they should be educated. 1. Education is the base of the development if the leader is educated so he will able to make progress better than an uneducated politician. 2. Educated politician can better understand the condition than the uneducated politician. 3. Educated leader can make better policies for the country. 4. Educated leader can give good solution for the problems. We can see many example of educated politician in our country such as current CM of Bihar state Mr. Nitish Kumar, CM of Gujrat State Mr. Narendra Modi, our former Prime Ministers late Mrs. Indira Gandhi and late Mr. Rajeev Gandhi and many more educated politicians who had contributed a lot for our nation. So the education is very important for politicians.

Our politicias are given the most important task which is to manage the whole nation. There has to be some educational qualifications for this job. At the same time, I feel that the kind of education imparted is also very important. We should have value education in our curriculm that will help in our understanding of basic values which will reduce the greed, make us sensitive and responsible. This will greatly help in not only having great politicians but also great citizens.

If we make it essencial for our leaders to have a concerned degree of Educational Qualification then there are millions who can not contest election due to that in our constitution there is a provision for appointment of learned man by President. I dont think that having an educational qualification in the concerned department will help our poloticians to rule good. It is not a garanty that they will not take or bribe of will not mate scam.

Hi! Friend, From my point of view education qualification is require in politics because without qualified leader how we can develope our nation. The most important thing is that different field are available to manage by the politician, they have the whole commnad of the country that how they will manage the things running now a days in India. In which field require investment to inprove the lackness of the field.

The problem is, nowadays alot of politicians are too smart in the way that they can stand infront of millions of people and spew out a load of political garbage that consists of mainly false statistics and lies. In other words, they are that smart that they know how to control people subliminally, all they are in the job for is the money and while there at it they are trying to be more liked by saying what they could possibly achieve although they never do. Think about it people, is it fair that they get anything they could ever dream off and all because they claim to care about a society's welfare; we don't and will never know what they are covering up.

In my view, there should be a minimum qualification to enter politics, the politicians are the ones who can act like a "BRAIN" for the country. Even for basic jobs, the companies are checking if the candidate has knowledge and capabilities to perform his responsibilities,but when it comes to a person who represents the country/state/constituency and in a position to plan, take reasonable and intelligent decisions it is mandatory to have educational qualification. I shall add that the basic criteria for candidates to enter ministries and positions of Finance/chemical/IT/Health..... should have knowledge and graduation in specific domain.

There are many politicians in our country who have no proper educational background still are in the powerful seat. Well this says it all about our political system. Education is certainly the backbone of anyone who is interested to serve the country and holds the most major job of running the government And because of lack in education corruption is deep rooted in our political system. Its not that ones who are educated are not corrupted but still educational background helps one to speak against corruption. The multi party system is certainly a curse for the democracy which has helped in increasing corruption and inclusion of man who do not have proper educational background. What I feel is that for every political position there should be an INDIAN POLITICAL SERVICE and equivalent STATE POLITICAL SERVICE that will be conducted by UPSC and accordingly politicians will be recruited in parliament or state assembly. Then from the selected ones people should choose there Prime minister or chief minister who would run the govt.

A true leader need not be educated but sensitive, honest, is full of zeal and enthusiasm, readiness to serve in true spirit such qualities can make a person a political leader if you peep into past when janpads and mahajanpads were formed having chieftans to decide for their tribes or janpads they needed no academic qualification for it. Akbar the greatest and powerful Muslim emperor was an illiterate one I need not to write about his contribution to Indian society but to the world in terms of administration, human values, etc. So there is a difference b/w education and knowledge. A leader must have knowledge which can be possible without acquiring education.

First we shall analyse the responsibilities of a politician. A politician should: 1 Administer his constituency. 2 Do his cabinet duties. 3 Second or oppose bills passed during sessions or should be able to propose bills in parliament. 4 Take decisions over exceptions and issues. To administer his constituency, a politician needs civic sense, which he will get through his experience in working with a political party. To perform his cabinet duties, he should understand what his purview, he should know what is good and bad etc. But to use his voting powers, he should have atleast minimum technical knowledge of various fiscal, labor, corporate, industrial and business laws prevailing in the country. Basic knowledge can be acquired from a structured study. Hence a politician should have educational qualifications. Also we can say that a politician to continue in his post should obtain educational qualifications, if he dont have one. We should understand the importance of education. Educated person can take a wise decision than an uneducated person. When it comes to taking decisions for a country, decision makers should have a good educational background.

Every politician's house is very big, large n giant, from where did they get that money? of course not from their work, its from the citizens, its from the people!

No, Its of no use. Because if we look at our national politicians many of them are highly qualified even then there is no difference. They are facing more problems related to scams, black money-hoarding, illegal sexual relationship and many more. If the person has ability to read, understand and have strong leadership qualities along with honesty it is more than enough. As a politician one should not be greedy. Each and every politician must strive hard to be honest throughout his life. Friends if you look at the Educational qualification of "ANNA HAZARE" he studied up to the 7th standard, But the work he has done recently has given jolt to all our highly qualified politicians. So it is not the qualification that matters, it is the commitment that matters. Commitment for corruption free country. Politician means the representative of the people, means he should act according to their will and wish. But our politicians have changed the meaning completely. Even if anyone brings this qualification criteria ahead its of no use again the same politicians will come up or the others with similar attitude and motto. So I completely contradict the statement.
