Re: Why should a Federal Minister be less qualified than a Federal Secretary?
You are right that education cannot make a person wiser. But education can make a person able to read, write, understand, grasp and analyse information. Before making any law, a law maker should be able to read, write and understand nitty-gritty of laws.
Further, law makers should read, know, understand, grasp and analyse details of the country they represent, should be able to read, understand and analyse information and situation of country’s economy, should be able to read, know, grasp, understand and analyse how different government system works, should be able to know and understand different cultures and values prevailing in the country (not only their own). They should be able to know, understand and analyse requirements and needs of the people living in the country … etc, etc, etc … They should be able to read, know, grasp, understand and analyse world situation, etc … and for all this, they need good education, good vocabulary, developed and open mind, and power of understanding, analysing and grasping information.
