Educational qualification for Politicians

In my point of view, every politician should be educated. Like our previous education minister was Smiriti Erani and she is 12 pass. What will she be knowing about the education system? Do you agree?

Hai! everyone.

In my point of view, every politician must be an educated. At least he completed degree. Because from education system only we can learn about the society. So that the politician can implement his ideas in correct manner. Otherwise, it makes difficult to him.

Just think about a scenario, wherein a few people are queued up for a job interview for an Automobile Company's Engineer's post. Out of the lot, One is uneducated illiterate but has an experience of over 10 years of running his own Automobile garage, and the other one is an Automobile Engineer from One of the Top Engineering institutes in the country with a first class degree. Who will the company Hire? As per my Opinion, Although the illiterate person has an experience in the same field, but due to lack of education, his vision, capacity to learn more and the skills required to work in a corporate sector is lacking. He certainly will have to work much harder in the job to reach higher and also give best productivity to the company. Whereas the person who is the graduate in the field, has competence, Wide thinking ability, Higher IQ and skills to take decisions using his learnings. It becomes evident to hire him for the better future of the company. In the similar context, India is a huge Democracy, in order to make it much more progressive and competitive we need our decision makers to be learned, tech savvy, proactive and agiler in solving the issues being faced by us. It becomes evident that more learned and educated people in the system will make it easier for our new Generations. The vision will be better and younger. I seriously hope that Govt of India will listen to this and introduce mandatory Education levels in our democracy. Way Back in 1950, when our constitution was made, it was correct to exclude Education as the mandatory requirement to be an MP or an MLA, because at that time literacy rate was only 18%, whereas now we have Literacy rate more than 74%, then why can't we change now.

I strongly condemn the practice of electing illiterate politicians. We Indians talk about rights, freedom, honour, education, equality etc, but when it comes to electing a right person to support our voice, then we foolishly support a person with the criminal background or a person who runs his political chariot on the basis of caste, religion, and gender. If we expect our parliament and legislative assemblies to promote good quality of education then we should put some right people to understand the concern. It would be an over expectation from an Illiterate MP or MLA who has no idea about fundamental rights, dates, constitution, etc. And if has no idea about his/her country, culture, values then how could he/she debate in parliament on various issues of law and policies. Over 70% of the politicians in Parliament and legislative assemblies do not give input while debates and question hour sessions because most of them either elected by playing on the religion or caste. How can we even dream for a better India by giving the command of our nation in such hands those who can't even speak proper Hindi and English in India or in international platforms? Fighting for the right to education for the children is good but why don't we implement it on our politicians. Our 5 years children are not going to run this country just after school. I am not saying that illiterate people are good politicians but the ratio of illiterate cum good politicians is very less. We can't deny that education broadens the mental horizon, it sparks the prudence and vigilance of a brain, that is why education is so much important. If we look behind then our nation had more educated politicians during independence in comparison to todays' scenario. Now you decide that whether we are progressing or ruining our nation.

I think education must for every politician. Because if he educated then he can know what are the developments to be done.

In our society. Many of leaders work for the money and shows some work.

Without educating without any common sense a person can't implement his ideas to developed at least the city.

For example - Educated person get different ideas to implement.

But uneducated person will take d help of d others persons.

He can be confusing what to be predicted there.

Without any knowledge, common sense, logical thinking, self-confidence, and dare to do work.

A person can't be do anything without knowledge.

So every human being must be educated.

This is my view.

In my opinion education should the first and foremost qualification for a politician because in a democratic country politicians play a vital role for the improvement as well as deterioration of the society.

I would like to add few points from my side in our group discussion. Yes! I think education is a good thing that if anyone is well educated he/she may think in a better and broader way.

Hello everyone.

My point is that if you all saying education is must for politician but for politician its not difficult to get that degree with money and if he doing degree with the help of money then you don't know as he attended the college or not. As per my suggestion politician must be aware about his current social situations and international language for communication. And he must have that eagerness to any good thing in society which is more needful for everybody. And not only positive thinking is important. He must be realistic positive thinker in every condition.

In my view politician should be an educated person. At least he should be a degree holder. Because if he is educated he will know how to solve the problems of people in society & apply the technology to solve it. If he is educated he will know the paper works related to society as well as to our country.

Good afternoon to all.

My point of view is that Educational qualification is not only for to become eligible for the post. As you, all know that today many educated people are kept in redhanded by the vigilance. So just think a second if they are in the low post and doing corruption then if we say about the politician they have to serve the total area of boundary assignment to him.

2-most of the elected people are sponsored by the verities of the political party.

So overall I will come from this conclusion that not only the educational Qualification should compulsory but also a psychological test should be conducted through a practical field to "Know about the mentality, moral power, and eligibility test to be a good leader".

Thank you.
