Default Prerequisites for universal suffrage

Hey guys,

This is my first post in this forum. I wanted to ask you guys about universal suffrage. Basically it means 'one person one vote' and stuff, like democracies do.

What do you think is the minimum educational requirement for it to be, on balance, a better thing for a country than alternative methods of government?

Should countries err on the side of introducing it too early (e.g. Philippines) or on the side of introducing it too late (e.g. South Korea)?

I thought of this when re-reading an old article on Bhutan (link: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/5f68d3e6-f...b5df10621.html )

Would love to hear your opinions!
