In South Africa, the level of education for politicians is probably among the lowest in the world. Ex-President Jacob Zuma has only a Standard 6 certificate, meaning that he has a primary school education only.

I predict that 100 years from now one of 2 scenarios will exist. Either the world would have completely destroyed itself through a world nuclear war or the accepted governing system of the world will be the elimination of the voting system and consequently the elimination of politicians. Leaders will need to pass intelligent examinations based on the field of leadership they are seeking. Engineers and technically qualified personnel already ignore stupid laws and communicate with each other all over the world. No person will ever single-handedly be in a position to declare war on any other group of people and in fact war will become impossible, weapons will not be allowed and a minmum collection of humanitarian laws will rule the world.

Education is important for all politicians as well as the citizens of our India. But we are not saying that he should be a topper. At least they should have the minimum educational qualification for them.

If politician is educated he take the decision which are write/wrong concerned with common citizen as a point of view that in what way the country is to develop in all-round. If he is fully educated & have no knowledge about common things that are going to take place in society it's useless. If politician is not educated he is like horse without charriotor, he goes in his way that write /wrong. The citizens will inspire & proud for electing him.

The present pm of our India as completed the degree & knows the problems of society. Now he is leading the whole nation into the way of universal leader, developed in all the fields. This is the best example what I can give you people. Therefore politician should be educated.

Our India is developing in education and technology, then why not our MLA and MP's should be educated? As they are the one who take a decision and their decision affect 1. 27 billion people.

When even for getting the government service for the post of group - 'D' the minimum academic qualification is required then how Ministers, MPs, MLAs can be allowed to sit without having any academic qualification, I fail to understand.

According to my opinion education is a viable and most important aspect of our current world scenario. We look upon the politician as an able person who can guide us and make proper and appropriate decisions. Most people prefer the politicians to be as their role model. But if the politicians do not have proper academic background what impact will it be on the state because it will bring a downfall in literacy rate as most of the people will have thoughts of education as an unnecessary subject.

THANKS!

It's a common trend here in our country where politics is often considered for people who are job less and with no qualifications. Well, this might sound sarcastic, but it's a fact.

Politics is a field that demands efficacious administrative skills. For that one should have a minimum knowledge about the country's different dimensions including it's culture, geography, law and order and so on. This itself implies the importance of quality education.

As Swami Vivekananda said, "Education is the manifestation of perfection already in man". No matter you are a politician or civilian, education is a right and mandatory process that every human should inherit. I would suggest to select your leaders with the quality of education they possess and how they render that quality through service. Neither the family background nor the economic status of a person should propel you to choose them as your leader.

Hi, this is Samyuktha.

Thanks for giving a chance to me. In my point of view, that the main qualification for the politicians should have been the education qualification.

So that our states can run in a better way. Every politician should have maximum education qualification. So that people can get awareness among the systems and they can lead in a better way.

Nowadays education sector is the most important for the student's life. So that if the political leaders should have the minimum awareness among this sector should be helpful for the students.

Some leaders make their ruling by inheritance even though if they are not having the education qualification. So please avoid this base of this system. They are not acceptable to promote.

So, I conclude that the education system must be important for political leaders. So the leaders who are not minimum qualification should not be acceptable.

In my opinion, both the educational background and degree and leadership skills are important. You cannot judge anyone on the basis of their degree, we never know how much potential they carry, their ability to think critically and problem solving skills. In political scenario, people of that country while voting for whom they like to be elected is important, they should have choose their candidate consciously, the most important aspect of this is that most of the people prefers to vote on caste basis in place of the qualification and character of the candidate. They thought that the candidate is of their caste and i.e. he/she will be helpful towards them. The candidate should also not try to get vote of a particular caste to which they belong, instead they must focus public as a whole. No person single-handedly can change the country, citizen also play a pivotal role in this.

Education to a politician is very important. As they are the leader of our country. All old qualities which till today needed but a person with leadership qualities should also have knowledge about the various field of study as so he will able to know, understand the pain, and solve the problem of the kinds. He should be a part of human struggling to got Thier Life achievement. And with the education, he will become a shining diamond than a blur cost in today day. As education also teach how to improve your Leading and Managing skill. There is a need for a politician to do this Management Course. As education is necessary for all field then Why not Politics ! ! !. He should have leading and managing education in a field of education. And that how corruption has to be stopped by having a wise political leader like Mahatma Gandhi ji.

That's all I want to with my eager opinion.

Education should be must for politicians. I won't say that he/she must have degree from prestigious universities but, they should have atleast minimum education qualification. Because educated persons know what type of plans to be implemented in order to develop the Education system in most of the areas in our country. "Whatever the work we are doing, we should be inspirational to everyone". So, we should not give chance to others to point out that he/she was not educated and how can they rule people. Politicians will have the chance to implements many rules. So, if they are educated they will implement many ideas in order to change the system related to children, youth.

If the person is well-experienced in the work and has poor education skills, how can he implement the ideas related to the education system?

So, According to my view, Education is must for politicians.

In my opinion, all politicians should have basic education qualification as education helps in broadening vision. In formative year discipline of learning helps a person in knowing the world through reading and using various other technological modalities n inspire the person for self learning. An educated politician can comprehend the neuances of technicalities of various issues, can enquire further and finally finds the solution of problems n able to implement it only an well informed person can use tools of power and technology effectively to cater masses. Our politicians are not at par in qualification with their subordinate administrative officers who succeed in maintaining the callous attitude and corrupt behaviour which trickles to grass root level. By keeping the facts straight politicians can rein in the corruption & roll out their action plan.

Yes, educate qualification is more important to politicians because through education we can learn anything. Our way of thinking also expands. Technically, generally we can try to know the problem, if politicians are not educated then how can they know what the problem is and how they will give proper solution to a particular problem.

Politicians will have the responsibility to solve the problems in the society. To solve a problem they should have the overview of that particular issue. To solve a problem education is not enough but also needed maturity mind then only they can give the correct solution.

We need to give natural solutions because when we are trying to solve a problem sometimes some works are doing harm to nature, this we don't want.

Be mature and at the same time save nature. This is also one kind of ruling our home.

Thank you.
