Education is necessary for everyone and even politicians also. It will help to make new laws and regulations.

But out present politicians are not so qualified. Many people are getting problems in their lives. They are not getting profits but Rich people are getting very rich. If they will only get rich and what about low class and middle class people. They didn't have any right to be rich.

We are saying that India is developing from many years. But it is still developing. Why India is not developing fastly as other countries? It is just because of uneducated politicians. They are not changing rules and regulations properl. We need well educated politicians for the development of our country.

So it is very important to be educated for politicians.

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.

Education is the vital tool for improving the economic conditions of our Nation. Just like we provide our children with good quality education so that they could become the future torchbearer of our society I believe the same applies to all politicians. It's not about getting so much degrees that matter. It's just a common sense every educated individual posses that should matter. Education teaches us what is right and wrong. But nowadays all politicians are not much educated. They follow corrupt policies without even having the audacity to forecast its results. Politicians should have the minimum ideology to understand the keen needs and requirements of the society and it will definitely be giving a positive result in the long run.

Anybody think that it's not necessary because,

Although it may help, it's not a necessity. As Randy Hultgren once said, "A leader is someone who has learned from experiences, not someone with who learned from a textbook.".

I think this is a very valid statement because, even though you have learned how to do something you may have never actually done it, so how can you know what to expect?

If a leader is educated it is helpful, but there are much more important qualities he must have like humbleness, an ability to understand people, no to corruption and they should have a vision.

This is why the most experienced leaders are the best leaders. To be a great leader you have to have determination, not qualification.

My name is Harsh Sharma.

I thought our country's politics level is very low and bad. According to me, a politician is the ruler and care-taker of our country. If he/she will be educated then only our country will become a developed and educated country in future. So, there should be some restrictions for those who want to participate in politics, and the restrictions would be they should be educated, they should be graduated, if they are not educated they will not be able to participate in elections. And some reservation for women should be there in legislative assemblies of our country. Women should have right to take part in decision making. Then only in our country may call a developed country in future.

Hi everyone.

My thought on this topic is that politician should have education qualification because of reason that if a person does not have proper knowledge how can he or she run a country if for example education minister doesn't even know how schools run so does this condition seems good if a sports minister doesn't even know that how cricket is played does it give any sense. In India, politicians only know how to disrespect the opposition party or how to gain votes.

If a person doesn't know how to speak in parliament do you think he can run the country? Only having skills always does not help. Sometimes having deep knowledge about your streams matters a lot. Now the condition is worse. Thank you.

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.

In my opinion, Education shouldn't be mandatory to play a role in Politics.

Democracy is of the people by the people, and for the people.

Nowadays, if we make education compulsory, it directly excludes millions of poor, rural and unprivileged citizens. Leadership is not born from degrees; it is born from experience, honesty, courage and connection with the people.

Nowadays, with a large range of education still not a good politician. In a democracy, voters have the power to choose. If people want an educated leader, they will elect them. The law should not decide who is worthy.

So, it should not be made compulsory.

"Education is powerful and important, but democracy is about choice".

For becoming a politician in today's world one should have knowledge of each and every thing. Otherwise, he will not be able to take decisions which are profitable to the people. Because a decision maker must posses a high-quality brain and this is only possible when a person is well educated. Nowadays for the job of peon in govt offices one should be educated. So in the case of politicians as he is a big post and he has to take difficult decisions and he will have to manage various critical situation he will have to be educated. Otherwise he will not be able to work efficiently and due to which the area will not develop and which will create an impact on the development of the nation.

Hello Everyone,

In my point of view, every politician must have the minimum qualification. Because then only they know the basic problems between people. Suppose he/she uneducated means, they don't know how to face one problem. They need others help. They need others help means they are not politicians right. For example, one person is well-educated means they know the value of the problem, different ideas, how to face the problem? They will reach the success path of the problem. Then our society having no problems and it will go calm. Nowadays in our society facing so many problems because most of the uneducated politicians. So every human having the minimum level of knowledge.
