Educational qualification for Politicians

Hello everyone.

My name is KC Pandey according to my point of view -There should be a minimum education to the politicians because a politician is a representative of the people of society from where he is been elected and he must have all sort of knowledge related to the problem being faced by his voters.

Without any proper education, how can a politician address the problems of the society and how he can carry out development in any aspect?

If a politician is not well educated he will not have the right to voice for education for others.

Education is a viable and most important aspect in our current world scenario. We look upon the politician as an able person who can guide us and make proper and appropriate decisions. But if the politicians do not have proper academic background what impact will have at the local or national or international level.

Low qualified politicians cannot cope up with global changes and will not able to understand the diplomatic situations with other countries of the world.

Education is necessary for everyone and even politicians also. It will help to make new laws and regulations.

But out present politicians are not so qualified. Many people are getting problems in their lives. They are not getting profits but Rich people are getting very rich. If they will only get rich and what about low class and middle class people. They didn't have any right to be rich.

We are saying that India is developing from many years. But it is still developing. Why India is not developing fastly as other countries? It is just because of uneducated politicians. They are not changing rules and regulations properl. We need well educated politicians for the development of our country.

So it is very important to be educated for politicians.

My name is Rupesh Nayak. I am an MBA student. My opinions on this topic are yes, qualifications should be important for political ministry, for example, the health minister should be Doctor, Sports minister should be Ph.D in sports, the finance minister should be a Commerce graduate and the Agriculture minister should be master's degree in Agri. Politicians become powerful administrators after winning elections. Then they need basic knowledge and education to perform the work. In another aspect, a good politician needs to have proper commitment and confidence with which he/she can delegate to the listeners. A politician has to be elected by his good communication skill and not by his degrees. Being literate is a highly desirable trait, but it can't be mandatory as well.

Hi all.

In my opinion, is not necessary that one should be qualified to represent the country, state, cities, etc. If the representative is not qualified and he knows what the people of the country need then he/she could do the work. I am giving you an example of Mr. Narendra Modi. Is he educated? But he knows how to run a country and he also knows what people need. In the leadership of India Mr Narendra Modi has grown our country very much and as you all can see it developing fast. Hence, in my opinion, it is not necessary for the politicians or the Samaj Sevak to be qualified as they can do their work.

Akbar the great is one of the great rulers in India. He became king in his childhood. He has no interested in studies even though he understood the problems of people of his kingdom and used to solve. By this we can understand that a great leader doesn't require any education except but the ability to affection and love towards the people. A person who love others won't make them cry.

Almost for every post in our country, educational qualification of a person is seen. So why not for politicians! Politicians are the ones who form the government and run a country. For this, they need to understand how an economy functions and runs. These knowledge can be better acquired through education. So what I mean is, there should be certain minimum educational requirements for becoming a politician. Undoubtedly, there are a number of people in politics who have performed very well and improved country's economic condition. But such persons had some highly qualified people in their cabinet or party whose advice they seek for taking any decision.

I think that education is necessary for every citizen of this country including politicians. Education enhances the working quality of a person. I am not telling that he should be highly educated or something like this but there should be a minimum education level. Leaders without education are like roads without sign. They will take you to a destination but what destination you never know. It may be right or may be wrong. But educated politicians have brain of their own and cannot be brain washed easily. But every coin has 2 sides. An educated politician can also do mistakes and non-educated politicians can even do better. But for this betterment they must know what is right and what is wrong and they can get this sense of differentiation by education.

I think the politicians should be at least completed graduation. If we take part in cricket then we know about the cricket rules, similarly, if we are a member of politics then we should able to know at least the rules of politics. The education plays important role in our life. I think, not only politicians but also every citizen of the country should be educated.

Education is mandatory for a politician in our country some politicians are totally uneducated they don't know how to write their own name. If you compare with other countries politicians they are totally educated. In our country, without any qualification, he or she can become a politician. This rule needs to be changed in our country.

First of all, it's great to give an opportunity to talk about the most debating topic- Why educational qualification is necessary or why not.

So, firstly, I am here to give my point of view why educational qualification is necessary,

According to my opinion, a leader is a soul of the country, & if they are competent, then the country will lead to progress. It's a need of an hour for a leader to be educated because this world needs like them.

We all know a leader can run a country, but if a leader isn't competent or able to understand the nature of politics, then how they will run the country. Yes, that's right when some people argue over this line and say that leader must have an administrative skill & love for his country by doing the work for the welfare of the nation, so then they're not a need for a leader to be educational qualified, but let me clear this perspective, if we are talking about the competency of a leader, that they don't need to be educationally qualified to run a country, or to frame a policy then let me ask only one question why we need an IAS, IPS OR IFS officers etc to be educationally qualified? Is then there necessary that they also have to be educationally qualified instead of the fact that they also have the same level of work as the leader they also frame the policies likely as a leader, then why? Answer it. I am waiting.

Secondly, we are aware of the different ministries we have, & for those leaders are appointed, but if the leaders are not able to understand the work of the particular ministry then how will they help to lead our nation especially at this transforming system?

That's why we see more successful work for a ministry when there is a competent leader who knows the standard & knowledge of the work. We have different kinda example of it, were we successful land the name of our nation due to their efforts, administrative skills & knowledge.

That's why it's a need of an hour.

Thirdly, we listen to the fact that if there is no barrier on educational qualification we have no barrier the people to run the election, which means then many will lead a country especially those which have a desire to run or change the country. Yeah somewhat I think this is correct, but I wanted to know one thing if they are not knowledge enough,

Then, what we say about this?

According to me a desire to change is equally important plus the knowledge & knowledge and desire is a likely same as a double facet of a coin, & both are equally important.

Fourthly, and lastly, I am not pointing anybody or anything, but we are seeing everywhere that some famous persons are coming to a particular party, & highlighting not surprisingly they win because of the fact how famous they are, & the public vote them not of the fact what they can do, but the fact because they are famous. , & acc to me this is wrong because maybe they have knowledge about policies, or maybe not, point of fact,

If they are aware of the policies, aware of the ministries, aware of the work, well good but if they aren't then who will suffer due to this?

Thankyou.
