Educational qualification for Politicians

Educational is important for politicians because education helps the peoples to take diplomatic decisions at any situation without require anyone help. Education help the people to communicate in convenient way.

Educational is important for politicians because education helps the peoples to take diplomatic decisions in any situation without requiring anyone help. Education helps the people to communicate in a convenient way.

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!

What essentially is needed is to acquire the conceptual education than the acadamic education. For instance as an elected IT Minister you ought to know the basis of how things work and what are their applications. Having wrong notions about thing won't work and the person will be no more than a sitting duck. On job explanation by the subordinate civil servant isn't exactly helpful while decision making which may polarize the incumbent minister either toward what the civil servant proposes or what is in the interest of their party and not based on public interest. The same may hold true for policy making in sports, Human resources and other portfolios where a much needed facility proposal may be rejected owing to lack of the prerequisite know how and the tendency to depend on the subordinates or popular choices may hamper the very essence of the purpose. The pre-requisite like motivator, empathetic, leading, humble, etc are much needed traits whether the bearer is educated or not. But being concept educated will make the bearer an independent free of uneducated decision making which usually involves vested interest.

Education and Training Is Required For Almost Everything That a human does, be it cleaning, marketing, cooking, singing, acting or even Sex education. Off-course lots of things can be done without training and education but to do it as good as it can be done, we need education and training.

That's why there are music/dance academy's, Drama schools, engineering colleges, home science, and sex education.

Suppose there are 3 people, lets call them A, B & C.

Person "A" has empathy and some knowledge about diseases and there cures and he is very dedicated to help other people, overall a very good and noble human being.

Person "B" is not so emphatic, and lacks the nobleness but is a certified physician.

Person "C" Gets a serious sickness/disease, Who would you think he should consult. ?

Assuming Person C is sane rational person there is a very less possibility that he will go to person A,

He might choose a 3rd person who is specialist in the area of his sickness/disease.

Now, Coming to the politician part,

When I listen to people's argument when they want to justify that education is not necessary to be a politician there are almost no logical consistency, they often use words like empathy, motivation, dedication, feeling, decision making capability but seldom do the use words like skill, knowledge, evaluation etc. I mean don't they see the flaws in there reasoning?

Even a 5 year old has empathy, motivation, dedication, feeling and decision making capability in fact he/she makes a decision when he decides to eat a packet of chips over vegetables or vice versa.

The reason is, that we don't care about anything unless its effects are immediate or significant to us or both.

When it comes to politics, unless a politician commits a very significant crime, we ignore it. We don't understand or maybe don't care enough to understand that every single decision made by our politicians affects all of us in one way or other however small and insignificant it may be.

Lets get to the real world now,

If any one of us has a million dollar company and we have to choose a leader. Would we choose in the same manner that we choose our politician ? off-course not, because we know the decision made by the person we choose will have a serious effect on our company. So what will we do. We will look for the most qualified person for the job that we can get in our budget. But for the politicians. We just don't care.

Try to answer this simple question and you will get the point.

Why do we need/prefer a leader with most knowledge and experience to manage a company but when it comes to manage a whole country/state we have no set qualification requirement, even a 12th pass person with no understanding of management, political science, our constitution/law or even our national anthem can be elected,

Knowing is one thing, but knowing how that knowledge can be used is entirely different, its the difference between a scientist and a teacher, its a difference between a mechanic and an engineer.

So, yes. ! I strongly believe that all our politicians should have a certain level of qualification, just like you need to have physics, chemistry and math/Biology to pursue engineering/medicine science as a career because we all know those are the basics that one should have to be a good and efficient engineer/doctor/scientist/surgeon etc.

Hi.

I completely agree with your options but I would like to add more options. According to my opinion, third should be minimum educational to my opinion, there should be minimum educational criteria for politician and I want to add that not only a politician 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 problem of our country. Because of the education, a person has leadership qualities that will Help the development of the country.

Should educational qualifications is necessary for a sports person, singer, dancer, actor, artist ? I think the answer is Big no, but yes if that possess then it will be helpful in many ways. But Instead of education qualifications they must have good skills and experience.

If only educated person can solve and bring good governance then why in terms of corruption India is in the rank of 144th, why in everyday we are seeing lots of officers are caught of taking bribe, why? Because they don't care about the welfare of society. If only educated people can rule, lead then how Dhirubhai Ambani became the business tycoon of India, how bill gates became the richest person? And many more. They don't have an MBA certificate but they had achieved more than an IIM, IITian can achieve.

You may have seen that son of some IAS officers are became a goon and son of a rickshaw driver /laborers son also cleared IAS exam.

So instead of educational qualifications they should be a good leader, motivator, ground to the earth and last but not the least they should be aware of the problem of people, some general knowledge and social worker. But in addition to that if they are educated then it is like "icing on the cake".

Thanking you.

What actually is needed for politicians is being discussed among us, okay. Just leave the things to be needed just focus on the things to be eliminated from politicians. If a person cannot think positive, so just eliminate all negative from mind the rest all will be fine should must accept everyone.

Hi,

Education is matter, Qualification don't !

According to my view, education is must, it does not matter how much we are qualified, So how we can judge that person is educated? Answer is, take a test at high level judge their knowledge, their decision making power, accuracy of decisions, their globe knowledge, their leadership quality. So According to me, that test will be conducted for each and every person who wanna participate in elections. After given that test candidate take part in elections and people have choices alot of candidates who are well educated.

The second benefit of that process is that party culture will be finished because every candidate gives a test for a particular position like home minister etc and test also different for each position. So which candidate won election after passing a test that has power and second highest candidate rule like as opposition. According to me, that will be best. Please, anybody correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks mail. Com.

Hey guys,

According to me, that piece of shit doesn't matter. A Man's life is a test. If he has in him that fire to do something good for our country.

Nothing can stop him. Qualification is only necessary to conflict with those fox sitting there for you just to cut you in pieces. To deal with these guys our national leaders must be able to tackle them in the same tone.
