Why is education necessary for politicians

You can take the example of many successful politicians who are educated very little. Like Indra Gandhi, I believe that she was educated only till her 10th or 11th grade.

Still she was such a successful politician. Therefore I would like to conclude that it is not necessary for a politician to be educated. It doesn't mean that only educated people are intelligent. The real qualification needed for politicians is to have practical knowledge and ability to make quality decisions.

Even today's most educated politicians are responsible for many of the scams. A politician should have a heart ,emotions ,practical knowledge , ability to judge people and an urge to serve his nation. Well I do not think that politician. He should be dynamic transparent and of no corruption. A true politician is a person who will show light and sacrifice for the country and have the ability to takegood decisions It is not necessary that a person getting excellent marks is also a good planner and decision taker.

A combination of the two is needed for a person to become a great politician. In my opinion It is not required to have an educational qualification for the politician. It doesn't matter that person has any degree or not only thing which matters is the work done for the public and his nation.

Even educated persons now in our country have caught in the corruption. So why do we judge people only on the basis of their qualification, why not according to their nature, qualities and work done by them. Person should be well aware of his responsibilities for his country and should have following qualities. Person should be honest, patriot and devoted to his country. He should have good leadership, always think and work for welfare of public. He should be able to bring out ideas for removing of corruption, poverty, unemployment and inflation like diseases from our country and must be able to implement those laws.

He must be a good decision maker so that can bring the change in our country. I am not saying that person should not be educated he should be but subject knowledge and hard skills don't determine whether he is suitable to be a politician or not. The above mentioned qualities are sufficient for a politician not any paper certifying his education. There is on need of education for our politicians because we are living in a democratic country and we only choose them that means we should put more stress on educating our public than politicians so that they could choose a leader of their own choice.

It doesn't really matter ,if the person owns some degree or not-what matters is his love for the nation the person should be honest, patriot and devoted to the country..

And unfortunately there is no such degree bestowed for exhibiting these qualities!!! Now let us come to the present scenario where we have a highly qualified legislature of MLAs and MPs certified from around the world's best universities,from Harvard ,oxford to St.

Hello everyone, The main role of politician is to serve the nation and do do we need any degree or qualification to serve our society or nation?

Certainly not! We all are the people of this nation and anyone can raise their hand to serve irrespective of their caste, creed, qualification or religion. And many more. But all these qualities require vision, determination rather than qualification.

If a leader is educated its good but there are much more important qualities he must have like humbleness, reach to people, no criminal records, no to corruption and should have moral values. So to conclude, its good for a politician to have degree and other qualifications but it should not be made mandatory. The constitution of India implies "for the people, by the people, from the people".

Our country has a history of highly educated leaders since the time of independence, but the importance and pivotal role of education in the decision-making, leadership and as a fuel to run a country has vanished. It is desirable that a minimum qualification be enforced so that our leaders are equipped with the ability to comprehend various issues with far-sighted vision; education is an enlightening experience.

It is a highly desired qualifying point. India is suffering from various challenges including economic development, infrastructure, health and hygiene, poverty, unemployment etc. The reason behind failure in elimination of these evils is corruption that is prevalent in our country because political power is coalesced with economic power.

Uneducated contestants are opined and believe that economic power provides ample opportunity to control and gain benefits, corrupt leaders are more inclined and capable of amassing social wealth instead of working for the welfare of people. However, electing a right person to run the country may be difficult. A leader has to be elected through observation of his communication skills, literacy level, patriotism, honesty etc.

There is no relation between the commitment and education. But in the modern world, education definitely helps in understanding about the world and society. But we cannot say that only formal education will fulfill the purpose. Afterwords :- What are your views on this topic? Express your opinion in the comment section below.

Hi friends , in my opinion education is very essential for politician, may be education is different and politics is different but education gives us knowledge of light , without education people cannot justify them , which is right and which is wrong , education teach us how to behave, how to talk and definitely maintain the etiquette.
