Educational qualification for Politicians

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!

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?

I think our country is governed by young and educate people that our next generation is coming they think that education is more necessary in politics.

Hi Friends,

As per my point of view, education should not be necessary because of as per our last PM Mr. Manmohan Singh he was high educated but he couldn't handle properly his responsibility.

So politician should have politics knowledge, Good Convincing Skill, Good Communication Skill and also they take a decision under the pressure.

Out current PM Mr. Narendra Modi, he didn't take properly education but he is working very well compare to educated person.

According to me, education should not necessary only they should have political experience, Hard Worker and also care about the society, and nation also.

Higher education is not that important for Politicians as the best example for this is of G. T Deve Gowda, higher education minister of Karnataka who has just passed 8th but is handling his portfolio quite effectively and he has been trying to bring in new reforms in higher education though he does not have any degree/graduation. The burning desire to serve people is more important than higher education for the politicians.

At independence time, we have good politicians. But the present, maximum all politicians are low educated and very less knowledge also have more cases, rowdies. So thats why our country not develop.

So, this is the right time to change rules. My opinion is make the must and should qualification is IAS for the Prime Minister, central Ministers, Cheif Ministers and state Ministers. Make the change. Already this rule is following the well developed countries.

So, all educated guys please think once.

Hi. Myself Jeelan Shaikh.
In my view, a politician must possess master degree. He must not be totally depend on advisory units for minute problems. He is a public representative and elected to overcome the problem. He must withstand with self-created dialogues and self-desired conceptual changes are solutions else. A proverb states "yatha raaja tathaa prajaa" which means "how the king is so the people are". It's an acceptable fact. The leader should have enough knowledge to understand as well as to solve a remedy. In education, he experiences about the past about the factors and about the tragedies. So I think for a better leadership best higher qualification is needed. To hold the ministry. The chosen person should have the master degree in that sector. As far as Modi ji ministry is the concern. Arun Jaitley ji is a good lawyer and his fame relates with that. If law ministry was given to him instead of finance he would have brought best bills related to that concern. So education qualification must be considered to elect our representative. If India wants quick development it must have competitive leaders and IAS officers in parallel. So that they totally work with better understandings. Hoping our country will gain 100% literature n parliament junior stenographer with the master degree or Ph.d else.

Jai hind. Jazakallah Khair.

In my opinion, it's not about clearing exams and having a degree it's all about skills and the ability to do work with their skills. There are so many people who without education became role models in polity and as same many people with education couldn't perform well.

So it's only a person's passion decides not his degree or qualification. As before the majority of the population is illiterate that's why we are not able to make any laws related to that matter.

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.

In my opinion, all politicians should have basic education to improve the poor condition of the nation. Illiterate Politicians are harmful for our nation because they have not any knowledge about any sector like the technical sector.
