Corruption in education leads to some people getting highly educated and
then these people support the uneducated to rule over the illiterate masses.Since India’s independence, the country has seen extremely educated as well as
uneducated leaders. This has stirred a huge debate as to whether education should
be deemed a necessary precondition for politicians. In India, there is no minimum
educational qualification required to become a minister; but, there is a minimum
educational requirement to become a peon. A string of past events prove that even the
well educated politicians use their education to gratify their selfish desires.
There have been a number of politicians involved in scams and corruption. Huge
funds with the government have always been meddled with. Higher educational
skills do not guarantee the presence of moral and ethical values in politicians; it is just
a statement of how literate they are as they can use the same expertise to carry out
their illegal activities.
The emphasis on the importance of education is often contradicted when the
educated leaders and politicians get involved in a number of scams and controversies
related to the government’s finances. Political corruption exists in many forms and at
all levels of the government. The nation has witnessed many such acts of corruption
in the form of tax evasion, forcing the electorate to vote for a particular candidate,
accumulation of black money with politicians and funding of electoral campaigns.
There have been a number of scams like the common wealth games scam, Indian coal
allocation scam and fodder scam that witnessed the embezzlement of funds worth
thousands of crores. Hence, to make education the ONLY basis for electing leaders is
also wrong.
Having a certain degree does not guarantee that someone will be a good leader.
Being inflexible in terms of who contests elections and who doesn’t is also the murder
of the political system. With a literacy rate of 74.04% and a ranking of 105 out of the
127 countries in UNESCO’s ‘Education for all development Index (EDI)’, putting an
educational qualification as the minimum basic requirement would mean depriving
a number of deserving candidates from availing this opportunity, who might end up
being better leaders as compared to the educated politicians
