Questions and instructions

Literal question

83B-ZAM. There have been several suggestions about the constitutional provision that stipulates that candidates for elective office in this country should have a minimum qualification of a grade 12 certificate. Some people say that the provision should be maintained, others suggest that it should be dropped while others say that the minimum qualifications should in fact be raised. What about you, do you think the grade 12 education requirement for elective office should be maintained, dropped or that the qualification be raised?
