Educational qualification for Politicians

Hi, yes we all agree that minimum education qualification is needed for the politician but at the same time, we must keep in mind that education qualification is not the only way to solve the problem of our political system. As we all see that big crime is always done by the well-educated man.

So the first politician should have nature of sacrifice for the welfare of other and he should be a good leader.

Hello everyone, I think as we know the leader is chosen by the people and for the people so he/she should have at least awareness, basic knowledge of not only of his area but also of Indian constitution or about India.

Ruling a country is the most important job one can perform as a citizen. If any other job in this country requires educational qualification, then person ruling a country is also required the same. But, in my opinion, to conduct an exam on certain subjects or setting a minimum qualification will not serve the purpose. The persons who are passionate about the dream to rule the country has to work hard to reach there, So it should certainly be the best people who have to get the job of directing this country. Right now those best people are the CIVIL service toppers. The personality trait to take responsibility and work hard are proven by these citizens. Let the civil service toppers be trained for governance. In fact, they already are. But under the current system, they act as puppets for the illiterate ministers! Why do we have to elect an irresponsible school drop out to direct our best students?Let The civil service toppers rule this country. Even to make it more efficient and transparent, the minimum qualification to contest for election should be a 5-year experienced collector and he has to compete for the place where he has served as a collector. Thereby we are already assured that they are trained in governance, they are getting practical experience and enough time to study the current situation of the country. They prove the efficiencies through the governance in the existing position. The voters also will get ample time and opportunity to assess their candidates and understand his capabilities of governance. Thereby we can provide a new system to filter the best candidates at the stage before ruling the country itself.

There is another blood sucking factor in the existing system; The political parties, whose primary objective is to oppose any decision taken by the other party (no matter how good a decision is for the country). In order to achieve the intended efficiency and independence in governance, all political parties should be dismissed from the country. Instead, there should be only two groups in the governance team. One group of the selected candidates who rules, another group of experts from each field who act as an advisory board to the ruling group. The moment we eliminate political parties from ruling us, we vote for the persons who has proven their efficiency in their governance to serve the country which is going to save India from many misfortunes that she has to suffer, just by the existence of political parties.

The main reason people disagree with the concept that an educational person will do better in ruling than an uneducated is based on the inefficiencies exist in our educational system. The existing system fails to generate responsible patriotic citizens and replaced values with money. We now follow the system created by the Brtish who has done it with a purpose of creating shame about India in every child\'s subconscious mind and create respect for the British. That is the main reason why the system now creates students whose ambition is to go abroad. Without patriotism and values, to expect people to work for the upliftment of their society and their country might not be achieved.

Once the society learns to respect people with values than people with money, then eventually people will lose the habit of doing anything for money which is the basic reason for the current situation in India, like any other developing country.

If we have to alter the constitution to save our country, It is high to do so As we have experienced that the existing system is proven to destroy India day by day.

A GOOD POLITICIAN DID REQUIRE EDUCATION (EX. MR. K. KAMARAJAR A KINGMAKER OF INDAIN POLITICS).

I think it is not mandatory to education for a politician because we know though we have 74% literacy rate what about remaining 26%?

OUR country is democratic and as every person has right to vote just like that every politician must have right to participate in an election. Though if a person is not educated but he can work on his ethics recent example Anna Hazare who has passed his 7th but still working excellent but Mr Kajeraval who has been ex irs isnt well compare to annji so education doesn't matter but ethics and working abilities matters.

So education should not be mandatory for a politician because it is their story right.

THANKS.

Hello everyone,

I completely agree with your opinions but I would like to add more opinions. According to my opinion, there should be minimum educational criteria for politicians and I want to add that not only a politician should be educated but every person should be educated.

Because a well-educated person knows that what is right or wrong. We all know that our country is a developing country its literacy rate is very low. So an educated politician will know how to face the problems of our country because a political leader is the one who runs the country. Because of the education, a person has leadership qualities that will help the development of the country.

First of all.

Let's take a broad look.

We know that a lot of politicians nowadays are chosen because of MUSCLE And MONEY.

So as to win, Also so many goons are politicians. This post is for the betterment of society and its citizen.

If such a post is available to the vagabonds. How can we expect the development?

That we ask for an educated politician at least would know the basic rules of morality and humanity.

Corruption rate would decrease. And voices of people would get amplified.

Also, I hope he would not a crime because he knows the consequences.

Whereas the goons are juggling the system and having all the fun and money.

Qualification can be purchased. One thing is absolutely necessary for politicians. They should sit openly in media and public and answer questions put to them. There should be justification for each action and the word he or she does.

Politicians should have a curriculum of science, social science, and arts.

They should give exams openly and pass.

There should be verbal questions also which will be streamed live.

In my point of view, education is important and compulsory who are ruling a country. If he/she entered politics they know the values of other people's. "Better education, is better tomorrow" like that if politicians not educated they can't rule the country and they can't guide others and they can't deveolp our nation and continues corruptions.

Politicians must be educated and they are the role models of other people and they should encourage their other's. Educated politicians can solve the problem by itself without depending on others and they can manage all other's " A good educator, can make a good country" like a good educator politician can make a good country and good life for people's.

As my point of view, education is most important for everyone whether he/she is a leader. I checked the discussion some of them are saying that its not important that every leader must be educated, a leader can be lead with their abilities, yes its true but I think its good that every leader must be educated yes some of the educated leaders and politicians also corrupted. In our India most of the politicians are illiterate while comparing to other developed countries. India is a developing country so now in this situation India wants some well educated political leaders because A LEADER IS ONE WHO KNOWS THE WAY, GOES THE WAY, AND SHOWS THE WAY.
