Educational qualification for Politicians

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.

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.

Yes, education must important for the politicians because they choose the right decisions for the country.

Hi friends, I'm T.K.S.Prasad.

Yes, every Indian citizen should need a minimum educational qualification to get into politics. Then only they can understand the problems of our people. Nowadays, we know an MLA who doesn't have even SSC qualification assisting IAS officers as their secretaries. So there should be some minimum qualification based on the grade level.

Hello,

As per my concern, educational qualification for politicians should be compulsory because politicians are the most important part of the growth of our country. As we all have to growth in the modern atmosphere then the environment of our nation is also so positive and creative thus it's happen only when politicians are educationally qualified because they have right to take all important decision.

Thank you.

Yes, I agree, educational qualification made necessary for politicians.

We have been saying that India is a developing country from so many years. Still, India is developing.

When can we see India has developed the country as other countries? The rule should be made towards politicians.

If they won't become like a politician they must have the minimum knowledge to develop our country.

One thing that really doesn't like we need to salute to uneducated persons who are in the politics, even IAS and IPS also need to salute. Some of the people don't know as a politician what he has to do. They need suggestions from IAS etc which we can really appreciate those who are in the IAS positions.

Let them give chance to lead our India who qualified civil services. He/ She can take good decisions at right, right decisions.

Hello, everyone.

I want to share my opinion it's not at all required to have an educational qualification for the politicians. Introducing necessary educational qualification for eligibility for contesting elections, in a country like India, where about 80% of the population is illiterate, will go much against the spirit of democracy for the sole reason as it will deprive the majority of the population, their right to contest elections.

A good politician must be a good leader first, who can take good decisions, empathize with people, have a vision for the future and of course must know the way to get there.

It doesn't really matter if the person owns some degree or not-what matters are his love for the nation. The person should be honest, patriot and devoted to the country. And unfortunately, there is no such degree best owned for exhibiting these qualities!

Now let us come to the present scenario where we have a highly qualified legislature of MLAs and MPs certified from around the world's best universities, from Harvard, oxford to St.Masuchauttes.

But let me remind you that most of them have their best foot forward in all the scams taking from the 2-G scam to the coal scam and what not. The nation is now fed up of people with high acadimity, all we want is people with HONESTY, INTEGRITY, and COMMITMENT !

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.

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.

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.
