It was revealed in the parliament that Mahindadananda Aluthgamage was failed the O/L Exam and he said "I am not ashamed...". He must have meant it. Why should he?
I also think that to be a politician educational qualification is not a requirement. Uneducated may be better for tooday's political culture for less conscious one is more he is qualified to develop.... himself and people who support him.

Politcions are chosen by a majority of voters (probably by a lot mostly who are uneducated). Ability to gain most votes is the only requirement. Once the votes are counted, the one who has most votes is legally appointed. He can be a teacher, scholar, businessman, monk, priest, murderer, robber, rapist, gang leader, ...anybody...any nobody can become even the president if he can get votes. Then he would choose his type of candidates. Sometimes with some leaders special types of candidates are more in demand.... From D.S. Senanayake to Mahinda it had been so.

    but the problem with this guy is that he doesn't have a good educational background. so he is not suitable for any of the positions in the list. i believe that he should be in the SL parliament though.



    Is Mervyn educated...
    I don't think Mahinda doesn't think so low
    to think about such useless qualifications.
    Where is the education qualifications checked in
    politicians nominations.
    :yes:
    Osho says...
    "Now, as things are, the profession of the politician is the only profession which needs no qualification. Even if you want to be a plumber, some kind of qualification will be needed, some training in plumbing, some certificate. But if you want to be the president, no certificate is needed. It seems strange: plumbing is more important than the presidency! If you want to be a senator, no qualification is needed. If you want to be a teacher in a kindergarten school, qualifications are needed."

    I think his lack of Education cause no problem for any of the posts...
    Those posts are held by people who can get most votes.
    Wimal can do that. He says he got Mahinda won.
    People don't care what he does to get votes...
    if he get votes people will trust him,
    respect him
    and do anything for him.
    He is qualified for the posts.
    But it seems that no one thinks he is good for finance.
    perhaps they may have lost trust because
    he failed to unplug from World bank.
    Govt did but inflation went so high.

    :yes:

    All the parliment members, ministers shoud be well educated, no two words abt it,

    They should have the general knowledge too, as a example. Ranil is a well educated politition but when he talk always say crazt stupid thing,

    I got amazed after i heard mahindanana failed His O/L and he dnt deserve to be a minister
