Educational qualification for Politicians
For any growing nation education is most important aspect in all terms may it be human development or mechanical development , although education comes after hunger but know after 65 years of independence , hunger is not our major problem but education is . Thus now our politicians need to be qualified and educated. So this leads to a very common discussion that Weather Educational Qualifications for politicians are necessary or not?

Educational qualification for Politicians

Politician should be people with high education because many leadership attributes are gained through education. Leaders with no education can not cope up with the change hence it hinders country development. Education is necessary for a leader, for the country’s bright future and prosperity. As now a days it is the basic need of a person, but yes, it should not be fixed till a certain level. A leader should be matured, experienced, kind, educated, and should understand peoples feelings, thinking, vision etc. And that all comes from education it self and our moral life. So friends that’s all I think ! I hope you all will like your small friend thinking, In my view politicians needed Higher education, because they are the persons rule the society. Unfortunately the highly educating peoples like IAS Officers working under the uneducated persons and also there is no rule for politician’s education. First of all we are changing the ours.

Some high educated politicians are doing the schemes. Finally we conclude that Only Qualification insufficient for the politicians and also having good leader ship qualities and genuine persons are required. What I fell is knowledge is more necessary than a written degree, anyone in today’s world can get a degree just by paying some amount!

I totally have to disagree that education makes men for see things and value things better. Talk about Bill Gates, Henry Ford, Albert Einstein and many more throughout history. They have no educational qualifications that they can speak of and yet are great leaders, in fact they are among the most powerful motivation of the world.

So there by I conclude that knowledge should be trusted rather than a show off degree!

Government is introducing many policies to ruin illiteracy from our country. If the leader is illiterate, there is no use to make All citizens literate. A corruption free nation will come only from a well educated leader.

    i think for governing any country education is must. education helps in broadening their thinking about differenent prospectives and increase their knowledge. Leaders with no education can not cope up with the change hence it hinders country development.education is necessary for a leader, for the country’s bright future and prosperity.A leader must be experienced, educated and matured enough to understand the people’s thinking and vision. It is rather more important than just to rule the nation. A litirate man can drive the nation better than any of illitrate person.

    As every coin has two sides same is the thing with this topic.We cannot say that only educated citizens can do well as we can see many examples Bill gates he was not educated much but he diid very well in his field.Same is the case with Dheerubai Ambani he has achived such a position in life we know very well.
    Now talking about second side of coin if politicians are educated that will be “CHERRY ON THE CAKE” because technology is growing so fast and if politicians are educated they will definitely work in a smarter way that will ultimately help the country to grow faster.
    Politicians should follow two rules-
    1.Honesty is the best policy.
    2.Education is the best policy.

  3. Richa Tiwari says:

    Offcourse, potician should be more educated so that our country will grow.Education plays a vital role in present era.As we know that politian are just like GOD for country they can do a lot for our country thn why should not every Politician shuld be Educated. Let us take an example if a mother is Educated then it serves more for there children. If they are more educated than we grow in Whole world.

  4. Shreya Dandotia says:

    The educational qualification is necessary for the country or for any nation because it will be easy for them to lead some or the other nation. They have to guide the whole country and make the youth confident. So, the politicians shuold be get knowledge about everything. They should get educated in such a way that they gain knowledge not only the degree.

  5. harsha says:

    POLITICIANS ARE THE ONES WHO ARE RUNNING ARE COUNTRY SO THEY MUST BE EDUCATED UPTO 12TH.I DONT SAY EDUCATION IS A COMPULSION BUT IT IS A NECESSITY IN TODAY’S WORLD TO LIVE OUT IN BEST WAY. ATLEAST THEY MUST BE AWARE OF EDUCATION.

  6. Sajal Pahariya Shelly says:

    yes the politician should be educated as much as possible atleast they must be graduate so that it can help them to have a new thinking a positive thinking and a sensible way to what to speak and when to speak. education will also provide them the new ideas that they must impose to make good and correct decision regarding the citizens. being an educated politician will have an idea of the problems that generally the citizens face. thats why i think politician must be educated as much as possible atleast they must be graduated.

  7. drashya kushwah says:

    Yes, Indian politician also have to be educated because they are running our country so they have to be educated and have all the knowledge about current scenario in every field.
    Education change people thinking, if our politicians are educated then i think they are able to take good and better decision. Then they can also take decisions according to need or development of todays youths.
    Who knows then India can also beat developed countries in technology and finance. Then may be India counted in a developed country except developing country.

  8. Saumya Khare says:

    In my point of view, politicians should be well educated in this present scenerio of globalisation.
    As they are leaders of public, they should have good knowledge to deal with the citizens as well as good idea delivering capability which can lead to cope up at some adverse situation.
    If our leaders are not well educated, then how can they encourage others for education. They will simply say, “I am doing well without being educated then why not you”.
    So for better and educated country, we need well educated politicians.

  9. Sakshi Priya says:

    yes in my perspective education is necessary for every politician because they reflect the country’s image.politicians are backebone of country so they sould be well quqlified so the they can manage the whole country’s smartly.Politician should be people with high education because many leadership attributes are gained through eduction.
    Education is necessary for politicians because it is the education who only may lead to leadership qualities and attributes inside human.in our country if we are taking an example of our former president respected mr.A.P.J Abdul kalam,he is the person who is the real politician which leads to countrys economy,education,skill and overall growth.so education is very much necessary for every politician

  10. Pushpendra Rawat says:

    Education is necessary for all.Even for the politician also.Educated prson can understand the
    merites and demarates of the laws and schemes.Politician can rule over the country it reflect the
    image of the country that his rular is that much educated and good knowledgeable of every thing.
    But in india mostly politician are illiterate and make the law and rule for the educational field .how
    its possile that a person can not know what is happen in that field and he make a rule for that.
    Thats why we are behind the other country person.

    It is compalsary for all politician that he is literate just like a student how is educate and complete is qualification for getting the job.So politician is also the member of our country he should also complete some qualification for entry in the politics.

  11. Radha Kumhar says:

    Politician should be people with high education because many leadership attributes are gained through education.and my india in education very easialy educated. very pepole is educated in india
    it is not necessary that each n every leader is highly educated but an individual focus towards the development and make the country corruption free is more important rather than gain the degree show .that is the very high educated level of these indias people.

  12. Riya Sharma says:

    I think a law must be passed which would allow only educated people to be a member of parliament,Chief Minister,Prime Minister etc..Presently there is no such law in our country and due to this our country is facing many problems like if uneducated people occupy higher positions in our constitutional system then it would be a great loss to our country as those people would not be able to take right decisions as they are uneducated and unaware of many of the facts.

  13. nidhi singh says:

    Education qualification should be made compulsory for politicians because politicians are the leaders of our economy and they must have basic education. Nowadays for every job that we go for, our education qualification is checked, then obviously it must be checked while selecting politicians as it is the most high profile job one can have. Politicians become the leaders of the country or state, so they must have some basic knowledge which comes with education. We generally watch news these days related to politicians giving weird comments. This happens because they don’t have basic knowledge itself. Politicians reside in the most prestigious house of the country i.e parliament and at such a prestigious place only educated people should be allowed to make new laws and amend the existing ones.

  14. Tushita Das says:

    i think politician should be people who are educated because many leadership attributes are gained through education .Leaders with no education cannot cope up with the change in trends . As we all know that for communication people should know english,as it is universal language so that politicians can share their ideas and views with other country.As while studying we go through with the information about our country if politicians doesn’t know about their country then how they can serve country?

  15. Bageshri Sharma says:

    Hello Friends In my point educational qualification is mandatory for politicians.

    I just give an example those people who are ruled in our from past 1947 are leaders some of them are educated and some of them are not.

    The leader ship qualities are coming from by birth.

    If they don’tr know about our country history , how they run our “SYSTEM”.

    In earlier days they fight with an honor and for their people but now a days the Politicians are ruling for their money and other things. These people not having any morale values the morale values will be learn form education system only.

    The person he/she educated must have respect towards their own country.
    only if they are educated, they easily understand what next generation want.
    And these people will think about next generation then only our country in great position.

  16. varsha shivhare says:

    Yes. It should be mandatory for a leader. A leader should be matured, experienced, kind, educated and should understand peoples feelings, thinking vision etc. and all that comes from education itself and our moral life. If he/she control 200 crore people of/in India, he must be educated. Under education, everybody know the vision of exploration, education gives initiative of thoughts for the upcoming steps.

  17. urvashi khatuja says:

    yes education is must for each and every person , especially politicians are those persons who leads to our country . so it should be mandatory for politicians that they should belong to good education platform .
    a we know that the speaker of LOK SABKA is an IFS officer .
    our honorable prime minister ( Mr. Manmohan Singh) is a great economist
    our current president (Mr. Pranab Mukherjee) is also a very big economist
    the current chief minister of BIHAR ( Mr. akhilesh yadav) is an engineer
    education not only gives us exposure to increase globally but it also plays a very important role in building our own personality ans politicians are those some very important persons of our nation which leads our nation and the growth of our nation totally depends on their decisions !! so we must have good educated politicians .
    thank you

  18. Tushita Das says:

    i think politician should be people who are educated because ,many leadership attributes are gained through education . Leaders with no education cannot cope up with the change tend it which hinders country’s ability.
    As we all know that for communication english is important then, only politicians talk to other countries politicians and share their views properly.

  19. ankit agarwal says:

    education is very importent of our life until it importent in every field of private and goverment sector..
    Politician should be people with high education because they are doing the most importent work for our country..
    they create the policies……. s i feel it is very important to be a politician to be educated and along with that h/she must have leadership quality to put his/her views ..pp..

  20. udit jain says:

    I m hardly agree with that. Educational qualification must be for politician and also should be retairement age for their. Conduct the exam for different politician post like IIT and UPSC IAS exam because their mind couldrun then they will become a good leader and a good politician and successfully they lead the our country becuase they doing the crucial role. Our minister such that whose are capable to take the good dicisions.
    Plz goverment take the educated minister.

  21. deepak prajapati says:

    Politician should educated i am totally agree with this thought. Some time happened that any leader goes to attend any international conference and that is based on nuclear meting,if leader is not educated how can he will take decision. They do not know the spelling of NUCLEAR, SO HOW CAN BE HOPE THAT DECISION WILL BE IN OUR FEVER. If IAS Officer is not go with them in conference they will return with nothing.
    So govt. should fix the education criteria for politician and a i think a small entrance exam should be conduct before filling the election form.

  22. rahul upadhyay says:

    yes …… education qualification very necessary for politician . because if any politician is educated . then whose are capable a take a good dicision. and those can handle a seriously condition. and take a good steps for it. this time many uneducated person are involve in government. whose are not educated and not a big minded. which are not capable for take a right dicision in favour of good developing country. so many causes behind this. so govt. take a strictly take a step for it. and give a chances for youngest person whose are a educated. and govt. should make a rule for educated politician. because good politician make a good country. and increse a our country strength. so politician should are educated. and give a retirement of older politician whose are uneducated and those are not capable for take a right decision in favour of our country. so govt. moves these person. and should give the chances of youngest person. In present scenerio of our politicians have to be well educated..so that they can well understand the happenings and can control the youth in a better way!!

  23. vijay rathore says:

    if we want to develope our country leaders must be edducated cause without education country are not growing.education is neccesary for a leader for country future.
    if the leader is illeterate there is no use to make all citizen literate.if we want to corruption free indiia firstly leaders as well as all the people are educated.if all the people are educated than and there india is free from corruption.most of the leaders in india are not well educated. i think goverment made the law if u want to join the politics they fight the exam.basis of merrit list they give a post of politics
    if we want to coming in top list of the world our leader must be eduucated

  24. mohit gupta says:

    Who are Leaders ?
    A leader is a person who takes the country with him , who assures the development of the country.
    Recently a new trend has been developed-
    NO EDUCATION…..BECOME A POLITICIAN
    POLITICIAN-“SOURCE FOR THE DEFORMATION OF THE COUNTRY”

    Educational qualification should be made mandatory for all the leaders i.e. the politicians. A literate leader would surely know how to make a country developed. Eligibility criteria should be there to select a perfect leader for the country …..A person who thinks first for the country not for himself

  25. himanshu jhawar says:

    the politicians are the one who are directly related to the development of the country. as they are the people who the people have elected to run the country.
    yes their should be qualification standard set for the politicians as these are the one who will look after the peoples welfare.
    the politicians must be well qualified in any of the bachelor degree but the politicians must have thorough knowledge of India’s history, economic knowledge which is very important for leaders as economy of any country is most important for its development.
    to lead the country against the odds and increase the growth of country their must be literate leaders and politicians with minimum of bachelor degree.
