Someone suggested a good book to read on this: "Thinking, Fast and Slow"
from my memories as college student, the worst students decided to study politics ...
Every professional and non professional job/work requires at least certain level of education.
Otherwise everyone should be educated but the politicians must be rather well educated because they have to frame program/policies for human welfare. Moreover the politicians if well educated then they won't be dependent on the bureaucracy. Master should be able to deliver the best as the politicians are law makers and they have to deliver with their wisdom and best sense of judgement.
Education is essential for politicians as they govern the country.
Education is necessary Its good for politician for the higher position to have at least college graduate. How can they know to manage the country if they don't know something? Let's say they will have practice ,but they can't practice all the time if they are already in that position. Instead of practicing, that time should be for them to perform duties and protect their people not for them time to practice.
Education is necessary for everyone!
I guess we have to specify what education we are talking about....
Education is essential to be good citizens. Politicians should be chosen from those good citizens. The topper politician is, the higher education should be.
Thank you J. M. Koli, but I feel there should be minimum qualification for politicians to enable them have the ability to comprehend various socio-political issues.
A leader who is intelligent and well educated will surely perform effectively in office
Thank you Mushtaq Ahmad, Jihad Ahmed Younis and Konstantinos Karampelas
@ Konstantinos Karampelas, the education being refereed to is formal...Thank you
Politicians are the main pillars of national development. The country always needs an educated world for them to develop a state ... and why politicians should not have an academic qualification. Without the knowledge, how can he manage the country, a country will be developed when the country's builders have an idea. So how can one be uneducated to develop its citizens?
It has to be compulsory. For all jobs there is a particular education requirement. Then why politics should be barred???
In fact, it is far more sensetive job affecting d community. A particular degree in sociology n political science n etiquette is a must.
I would go one step further n say that any person, assigned in active politics must be evaluated n passed by a qualified psychiatrist.
Education necessary for everybody particulary to the people who responsible to the common intrest .
I think it is necessary for the purpose of raising the level and cultural awareness.
Thank you for your insightful comment Dr. Mohammed Sh Edan, I am glad to know that you are a political scientist.

Yes, very necessary for productivity, efficiency and effectiveness...
Education is now more important in politics. Given the current situation of politicians, they learn as a priority because they do not know much about country history, politics and even geography. They are very limited in their constituencies or constituencies
Definitely Yes, it is necessary to obtain information that helps them to know and manage some of the things that need specific scientific discussions in political negotiation.
Thank you so much for your insightful comments: Adedoyin Adesuji, Mohammed Shwaish, Marwan Khaleel Yousif, Mohammad Mehdizadeh, Dawood Mahdi, Djaafar Zemali . @ Muhammad Farooq thank you for the interesting links.
Illiteracy in politics will lead to disaster, since politicians are the one craft the policies on which a nation runs.
Yes of course you need education in politics for better development of a nation.
Absolutely, it ( education)should be mandatory for politicians and the eligibility and aptitude test should also be conducted.
The importance of education in life is embodied by instilling cultural, social and national values in the citizen. Education documents the process of understanding the rights and duties that all citizens must realize. It also provides citizens with an opportunity to learn about their culture, history and the values of their societies.
@ Mahender Singh, I quite agree with you. Eligibility and aptitude test for our politicians will help get the right people to drive the system.
They need wisdom; knowledge and insight to fulfill or implement their policies.
In my opinion education is necessary for everyone, especially for the politicians who will serve the population and will work with people
Yes, to enable them reason effectively, identify problems and find solutions.
Dear Mohammed Sh Edan
What particular kind of education are you suggesting or proposing for politicians?
I think basic education is necessary for all people, in general, and for politicians, in particular.
Education is very much needed for all politicians whose decisions may have a great bearing on the people in general. A close look at the presidents in developed countries shows that level of education is a prerequisite to their success.
yes..i think every politician must be educated…because there is a significant difference in the thinking of a educated and uneducated person….
I definitely consider it very necessary. Politicians represent the opinions, interests and concerns of the population. Therefore, they must be educated. I suggest an education focused on the development of communication skills for debate and communication in public, ability to negotiate and reach agreements, team coordination. In the same way I consider that a politician must have studies in political science.
Some morals wont be harmful... if you know what is my point of view....
Thank you so much Brenda P. Rodríguez-Villanueva. I am glad to know you are in support of the fact that politicians must be educated. Your suggestions are noted with great delight.
Regards,
MO.
Thank you so much Dr. Djaafar Zemali, Reza Biria, Dawood Mahdi, Adesuji Adedoyin, Marcelo Tsuguio Okano, Paula Romanos. Your vital comments are noted with great delight.
Yes, it is highly essential for the politicians and other people in the society regardless of any affiliation. Basic education for all.
Education plays a vital role in economic and social development ... In this sense, the implementation of various means to raise the level of knowledge of the latter (politician) is necessary. However, they must be acceptable, relevant and effective... Education is good for politicians that are well informed and good in general.
Education is the bedrock of Leadership. A Political Leader MUST be a learned person for him to lead correctly. Education is a light. A blind man can not lead. So it's essential and indispensable for every person who want to be a politician to be educated.
Education enables us see through the things, judiciously and logically.
A knowledgeable politician can make and implement policies more wisely for the common good of people.
Nevertheless leadership is not entirely dependent upon a formal education, as we all seen several examples of it. Although a pinch of education with good leadership can work wonders .
Definitely education is necessary for all politicians. Because, without knowing about education, how can they formulate good strategies for higher education. In some of the countries, illiterates are deputed as higher education ministers, which is horrible.
Absolutely, education is really important for all field. It 's the foundation for any project.
Education is necessary for every body but the question is :
Shall education change their priorities and behavior?
Is education necessary for politicians?
Yes I think it is necessary because through education, their minds can be renewed / transformed despite they have hard knock real life experience as their guide. Education can prompt them to do the right things faster & better rather than merely relying on their own experience that may get things right through trials & errors.
Education is only one thing that can remove corruption, unemployment, and environmental problems. Education is not about doing degree it is about how you can live with your own feet... That is why education is necessary for politicians
Thank you all. I am glad to know that education is necessary for all politicians. I recommend that politicians who are not educated should return back to school so that they can do things right and learn to construct architecture that looks at solution to problems.
Yes, education is necessary for politicians.
I agree with Han Ping Fung and other scholars.
Thank you so much, I am glad to know that education is highly necessary for politicians.
I agree with Latifa ZHOURI, Han Ping Fung, Mohammed Mosleh Shwaish, Ali Almothaffar, Adraaa Alfatlawy and so on.
It is not a criteria but Politicians need education to build confidence and lead effectively
Politicians need education
An educated politician will have vast knowledge and exposure far more than an uneducated politician. An educated politician can easily understand the problems of the people because of his exposure and problem solving ability. An honest and sincere educated leader can lead a country effectively. He/she will have many ideas to develop our country.
