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

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.

    As far as my wit is concerned i think there should be some minimum education qualification for the Politicians.As we know that the politicians are the leader for our country .They should have some Knowledge of present scenario so that they can lead us to a better future. Leading a country is not a small task they have to face many difficulties thus by providing a minimum qualification they can be able to face anything and our future will be bright.

    education can develop the pesonality not physically as well as mentally. a politician has to control over a large community therefore he needs some extra skils and the first thing which distinguished is his qualification.a politician is the representative of the nation therefore it should be a perfect man and this can be done by his qualification.education develop his communication skills and public speaking and helps to interact with people.thats what i think

  3. Ankesh Sejwani says:

    yes it must be compulsory for polititions because they are representing our country it’s culture.
    And also An iletrate person can’t resolve some severe problem which nation faces.

  4. Naina Pandey says:

    yes i think the politician should be made educated. since we know education is essential for an every individual whether it is citizen or the politician.
    Leader or politician with no education cannot cope up with change hence it hinder the country development
    without the the education it would not possible for the politician to raise the country economy high
    education is important for the nation prosperity and for the nation growth..
    when it come to one who has responsibility of the whole county than the first and foremost requirement of country is “EDUCATION”.
    for this we need good and education person who can guide us and can lead us as well nation in the right direction.
    Due to this government had even started examination to judge the person for the post of politician
    .
    in order to remove corruption and for the development of country the politician should be educated.
    we conclude:
    an corruption free nation will come from a well educated leader

  5. soniya singhal says:

    In my point of view educational qualification for a politician is necessary. Only this thing (education) is not enough they have also another qualifications like sincerity, corruption free. And also understand the people’s problem by humanity…..
    In case of educated persons, take more number of educated politicians is in uncorrupted cases like 2G spectrum cases. Some times higher educational qualification is also not compulsory. See an examples before independence number of uneducated people were doing fight against British. In today’s in India take Anna hazard’s doing fight against corruption to do make an India corruption free. His trying to put a local bill against corruption in parliament but it is not passed.

    “EDUCATION QUALIFICATION FOR POLITICIANS”
    I PARTIALLY AGREE WITH THE STATEMENT THAT EDUCATION QUALIFICATION FOR POLITICIANS MAKES THE COUNTRY REACH ON HIKE BUT NOT COMPLETELY . QUALIFICATION FOR POLITICIANS IS SOMETHING NOT EVERYTHING. TO SERVE THE NATION QUALIFICATION IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS VISION AND LEADERSHIP QUALITY .
    HOWEVER ONE SHOULD HAVE THAT LEVEL OF MATURITY AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE PEOPLE’S NEED AND DESIRE. THAT’S ALL MAKE THE POLITICIANS BETTER. NOT ONLY QUALIFICATION HAS CONCERNED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COUNTRY BUT OTHER ASPECTS ARE EQUALLY IMPORTANT.

  7. Akanksha Gupta says:

    I highly agree with this,that Educational qualification for Politicians must be allowed.because of this politicians can able to make a good laws in our constitution.one benifit is that, educated politicians thinks in varioius different ways rather than in one way.Its helps in providing better result for solving a problems. And they will educated then they can matchup with current environment and use proper way to handle the problems and peoples.at last they must be educated in any of cases.
    Thank you.

  8. Seema kushwah says:

    Yes absoulty Educational qualification is very improtatnt in politicians sector .Educational qualification play such a very important role in politicians. The leader should have gud educated so that he/she can take a gud decision for there country because all contry follow their decision . Because there are many education sector like -> Engineering , Doctor ,Lowyer , teacher and IAS officer .
    In a country we need that all person become a gud country . so why not leader . for a good leader the education should be mendetory and yes ofcourse the leadership is also very important for a leader .I think that sometimes a educational person also good in leadership because in collage there are many co curriculer activities that make a person good in leadership sector . many of student who are the cordinator of the class .

  9. Prateeksha Agnihotri says:

    If we want to come out the day by day innovations, if we want to change our country status from deveoping to developed there is need FOR PROPER SELECTION OF MEMBERS WHO RULED OUR COUNTRY . this is possible if we choose Politician enrolled with high education proficiencybecause many leadership attributes are gained oly by education. Leaders with poor education 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. IN last i want to say a person is like a ship without radder so this case directly applies to the SITUATION INVOLING HAVING A POLTICIAN UNEDUCATED THAT WANTS THE COUNTRY TO BE DEVELOPED DELUDELY BUT THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO DO IT… THIS IS WHAT WE ARE DOING WITH OUR country if we choose a person or poltician that rules our country.. so education, educated, development and innovations can be brought by selecting a educated poltician if we really want our country to develop.

  10. sakshi sharma says:

    Education plays a vital role in the development of mind of any individual..Leader has to make decisions at every step hence if the leader is illiterate then he wont be capable enough of making right decisions at right time..they are someone on whom whole country relies..our nation is in hands of our leaders therefore they should be well educated to cope up with the crisis and the situations.Hence i strongly feels ‘Nation needs educated leaders to lead us’ .

  11. Khushbu Rai says:

    education qualification should be.because it is first role for politiciant.and leadership should be good educated .Politician should be people with high education because many leadership attributes are gained through education.
    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.

  12. Priya Gupta says:

    Yes, politicians should be educated.It will help in making better laws. Educated politicians provide better solution for every problem than the uneducated politicians.Education makes them to think in many different ways
    Politicians leads our country so it is necessary to have leadership quality in them which mostly comes from education.

  13. Shivam Gupta says:

    HIGHLY QUALIFIED OR HAVING DEGREES LIKE MBA, M TECH alone WILL NOT DO…
    politician must have good communication skill , WILLINGNESS to do good for people, LEADERSHIP quality and must be matured, experienced, kind, educated, and should understand peoples feelings, thinking, VISION etc.
    written degee cant do anything if that vision ,that willingness is missing……
    but knowledge is always useful…
    WELL EDUCATED person with the VISION of improving the society would be the PERFECT combination …..

  14. Vivek Rajput says:

    I think politician should be educated but not theoretically he should be educated morally .As our country 40% population are not educated so it is obvious that their leader may be not educated so for selecting candidate for politics i think its not practically possible .Yes their should be a training for politicians after selecting as a leader like IAS/IPS officers their should be a proper teaching for their moral values and for how to treat with their public.

  15. neet ahuja says:

    Education is beneficial for every one and each citizen must get basic education so that he/she could get knowledge about life process, our culture, our society we live in, our constitution, our rights etc. All these aspects are very important to be known by one to become a good citizen. So do politician must get education. But it is not compulsory that one could become a politician only if he/she is a well educated person. Politician’s job is to serve as a representative of a group of people, understanding there problems and try to rectify it for all this education is not so necessary. I believe a leader is the one who has followers, it does not need education

  16. Akanksha Rastogi says:

    yes, educational qualification is very much important for our politicians as well…if they will not be educated then how would they maintain our society……politicians should be well equipped with knowledge, and experience……..if they go abroad and they are the only representative for their country then how would they interact……….with the other people…….its a matter of great concern because some illiterate people don’t understand the way a society should go…should develop….a politician has a crucial role in shaping the society. if the people are choosing him, and he is not educated then he won’t be able to make them realise or make them understand their rights and views……some leaders don’t have any educational bit..but they are leading s well….and it is a point which slows down and drops the measure of development readily from the map of development…..an educated person is an experienced person..because he gets the experience bit by bit when he is educated he is sincere and patient with the conditions…….an educated politician handles a situation patiently and justifiably…only then society would do great and would develop at a fast rate…….

  17. shiv shankar says:

    I want to say that education is not much more for politician they should also have the leadership quality.

    If a politician have a great degree but if he doesn’t have any leadership quality and have the dedication towards the work which they do for the Indian citizen then their is no use of degree of that person.

  18. Rahul Atri says:

    The educational qualification is not really meant for being a politicians but the education helps to build up the person with gratitude. The gratitude can be termed as “Great Attitude”. A person with gratitude have the positive vision towards the life and he understands the circumstances from which the nation or his surrounding had grown. it will help to build better politicians which cares about the sensitivity of matters and the responsibility of the designation to which they will be elected by the public. So, we can dream a world where it is base for better democracy.

  19. shubham jain says:

    I completely agree that our politicians should be well educated…..

    because their are many politicians who get the party tickets even if they are having criminal cases behind them….

    Also a leader should one who thinks for the welfare of the country not for their bank balance….

  20. nidhi pundhir says:

    the education qualification for the politician is must important because an educated person having too much capability to take decision in any situation as the important thing are imagination &knowledge are only can achieve from education as uneducated person are lack of these two things .So to make a well developed country a politician should be chosen which are having a great knowledge . As the education does not mean that they have to learn like parrot and get the degree they have a practical knowledge of it and always be make available himself in any situation in which decision are to be taken are critical because decision should be reflect and imposed to all the peoples of nation so it should be for the welfare of the peoples and only then the politician can take the country to the highest level.

    so well educated person only can take the nation to the highest level and make the peoples of country to live happily and safe.

  21. Anil Rathor says:

    i am in the favor of high education of politicians because now lots of politicians are educated down to level position they are holding.
    They should be graduated & Post Graduated because it is highly required. And if not then when it comes to take decisions many of them are failed.
    politicians can help to encourage people to be educated.
    political environment will be clean & clear that will lead the country to the path of development.
    otherwise what happens all we know ………..

  22. piyoosh karkhur says:

    politician should be educated 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.Unfortunately the highly educating peoples like IAS Officers working under the uneducated persons and also there is no rule for politician’s education 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.so as per my views there should be educated politician if they will be educated then better understand the situation and solve it

  23. ANAND JAIN says:

    Education is failed against the brain & its usage of politicians… behalf of this they need some people which can control them.
    & also support of some educated people who show a good way to make our country successfull…

    educated people only think in one way…. poticians are multi-thinker…

  24. Satendra Chauhan says:

    Of course to be educated in any field plays a very crucial role. & when its comes to one who has responsibilities of the whole country then the first and foremost requirement is to be educated. so, as per as my views 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 in sharp way and work for the betterment of our country !!!

  25. Atul Bhadauriya says:

    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.In the present scenerio of globalisation politicians have to be well educated..so that they can well understand the happenings and can control the youth in a better way.i think Politicians should be well educated because they are person who govern the country and if they are not educates well then the country should have to face big loss.
    so, as per as my views 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 in sharp way and work for the betterment of our country .
