Educational qualification for Politicians

Each coin has two sides. Education is a must for everyone. Because education teaches us what is right and what is wrong. But we know social entrepreneurs like Mother Teresa and many more who devoted their life for the betterment of society. If political leaders are like social entrepreneurs then poverty which is a major issue of our country will be overcome.

Hello all and dear friends.

As we all know that education qualification is must for a politician but is the education needed in social work? To help the people.

No, as you all know that our political leaders don't have any specific educational background but they knew very much for about the situations which they face at ruling education is helpful but not necessary because IQ is important or thinking ability is strong to ruling and important for the nation.

It's fine, we are very much aware of the literacy rate in our country, not very appreciable, I accept, it needs decades to reach a high percentage and politicians are people that are selected from amongst us and so we cannot expect them to b super educated.

But I believe as we have reached a stage where at least half of the people are literate, taking into consideration 60% literacy rate of our country, so can't we expect our leaders to be among at least those half of the people? And here someone would pop up a question that what about places that have no literacy % at all, so having educational qualification would mean that this particular place will have no representative? But well, why no? Can't a qualified person from another state stand for as a representative? Where is the problem? And if someone would ans, the problem would be the particular person not being a member of that society will fail to understand and solve the problem of the people, then for that matter I want to say that all such points lie down secondary because people can b trained to live and analyze at a place to research and sort problems of a place and such a person would easily win the trust of people as well be it anyone from even outside their territory. But primarily what is required to have that analytical mind? Education, for sure. Education does not only mean bookish knowledge, rather it stands for the capacity to be a civilised human and that comes when you have been a student.

I remember my teacher telling us that, "if a person can be a good student, he will be good at every role of his life. ".

I know how much the lectures on Mahatma Gandhi has inspired me and the stories of Abraham lincoln encouraged me to look for the betterment of others and to develop within me a conscience. Most of the politicians or representatives of our state lack that thing, when a women is raped they point a finger at the victim, when there is riot they speak of protecting their community and not everyone, they fail to bring up secularism and its importance, they fail to address the need of fundamental rights some even do not know what are these rights.

I just urge that leave a part educational qualification if that is so unacceptable condition but at least make these politicians sit for a test before they are selected to judge their thinking, skills, common sense and psychological status. All this means alot to be a leader.

I agree with you people that every person should have the knowledge to do a particular thing and so politicians, but I don't agree with that an educated person won't get corrupted. The Proof is we have seen so many highly qualified officials including civil servants also involved in several illegal activities till now. So education only is not a measure to decide a man to become a politician. We have to take into account his background, his ethics and his nature of treating people.

I think some qualification must be required to become a minister. Some may say that education is not the ultimate thing but a person who is educated will view a thing in a different way and a person who is not educated will view in some other way. An educated person will be having the capacity to think rationally and he can also make many reforms.

Yes, Education qualification should be necessary for politicians. In India, the Illiteracy rate is high. So to make our India more educated, our leader should be educated. But as my opinion, Educational qualification for politicians means that they should have good knowledge about our economy, trades and social issues rather than a college degree. They should be good enough to communicate with foreigner delegates because they are representative of our nation.

It is made compulsory education for students and this rule is actually bought by the government. And in today's world, THE SO-CALLED politicians do not even have a proper qualification of 12th PASS and they are our great politicians. They are the main source of corruption in India today.

I think education is the ability to understand the different kind of situation and provide solution for that particular problem.

Hi Friends.

I am Aakash. Education is the only thing which can do our development overall. If we choose our leader educated than we choose the right future for us. According to me, if the politician will not be educated than he cannot represent our country before the world. In simple term, qualification is the best thing for every politician which help them to lead our country very well.

There should be a minimum education to the politicians because our country is educated day by day if our politicians are uneducated how they will let our country move forward. Politician must be for the people of the people and to the people not like an off the people, not for the people, and not as that to not the people.
