additional educational qualification like Msc, MBA PhD should be reflected in your work output and as such should not be a basis of promotion. With the falling standard of education paper qualification has been greatly abused moreso that people mostly cant defend the certificate they proclaim to have obtained. leadership position requires more of networking intellectual ability rather than educational qualification.

The problem with education is that my company has no process for promoting based on further education. They say that your increased education should show up in your job performance; thus your reward should come in your yearly evaluation.
What if you graduate right after evals? You have to wait another year.
Your best hope is that your management chain was aware of your continuing education and has prepared (and fought for) an out-of-cycle promotion. That is, if they like you. So, who you know becomes the most important part of getting a promotion.
