Educational qualification for Politicians

Hi Friends,

According to me, every politician must be educated, because education in the field of politics is very necessary i.e., how to deal with the scenario of public grievances.

According to me, the one who is studied about society and problems of people is fine for the stand as a leader.

Hi friends, education is important for the candidate because without education leadership can't handle, so it's required for candidates.

Yes, Educational qualification is a must for the politician. Especially, It would be great if they have sound knowledge in their field of service (ie, finance, Technology etc). Which help them to serve better, more efficient, effective communication, Global knowledge, exposure.

Yes, India has the history of the great politician with the least educational background, but again percentage is less.

In my opinion, a leader should be a person who is well educated. An educated leader can take more sensible decisions for society. He/she can give much better solution to a problem of their society. A worthy leader is supposed to be one who is not corrupt, this is possible if they are educated.

Hi, friends.

My point of view, the politician must require in well educated.

Because, if any technical or scientific problem, he/she can't manage that problem, so the educate politician easily handle it.

Hi, friends.

My name is Aisha.

I agree with you peoples. Educated politician only handles the social and technical problems so politician must and should be educated only.

Education gives rational thinking about the society which is necessary to perfect politicians.

And I am not meant to say that all of the educated people are rational thinkers but compared to illiterates educated people are better.

My opinion about this is;

Mandatory educational qualifications for politicians is a rightly debated topic as on one hand our country has a crucial need of educated MPs and MLAs, however, on the other hand, it risks marginalisation of a section of society who cannot afford quality education, or any education.

Moreover, there are numerous factors to keep in mind.

But first let’s get a fact straight- literacy does not equate with education, it’s a part of it, and many of our current leaders are literate but not educated — they lack manners, basic understanding and empathy.

Second thing, being literate does not necessarily make a person have empathy and manners.

Third thing, a person deprived of basic education and yet having a vast knowledge understanding of how a country should run or having innovative ideas to take our country forward should be classified as a person who is qualified for being an elected representative.

Fourth point is of marginalised sections of society who cannot afford education and thus might loose representation in the country: these people are citizens of our country and they should have access to affordable and quality education; but they don’t. This points to a systemic failure when the government schools of India cannot even provide basic elementary education to its citizens. This problem might be solved when we have in our parliament EDUCATED and responsible MPs.

So to present a solution;

There should be a qualification for the ministers, but it should not be a simple degree, but a test of sorts.

•This test should test the candidate’s (politicians) basic knowledge about the country, world and current affairs, along with critical thinking, mental agility, empathy, public and communication skills, and such.

• It should be conducted in all major regional languages of the country and have no prior requirements (basic 12th-grade schooling can be put as it) to make it accessible to all.

There will be many issues with this solution as well, and hurdles like corruption will prove challenging, but taking a step forward is crucial.

Hai friends.

In my point of view, everyone should be educated. We know the importance education.

All politicians must be educated so then only they can take right decisions, and know the difference between good and bad, they can easily communicate with others this will be helpful in development of our country. Thank you.
