For: Politicians need education According to the present situation, An educated know more than a uneducated. An educated can easily find a solution for problems. He can think of many ideas. An educated can easily understand the problems of the people because he learns about it in school. Only a good educated leader can lead a country. He/ She will have many ideas to develop our country.
Against: No it's not necessary In my opinion it's not at all required to have an educational qualification for the politicians. Introducing necessary educational qualification for eligibility for contesting elections, in a country like India ,where about 80% of the population is illiterate, will go much against the spirit of democracy for the sole reason as it will deprive the majority of the population, their right to contest elections.
A good politician must be a good leader first, who can take good decisions, empathize with people, have a vision for the future and of course must know the way to get there.
