Under educated?

[Cliphead]

This has been mentioned on here and by commentators during news coverage of the riots. Why are these people uneducated?

I was under the impression that education was available to every child in this country. Why do so many under achieve? Poor calibre of schools, teaching?

Could be something in that. I grew up in a tulipehole and went a tulipe school but survived and I am where I am.

Is there any excuse to blame lack of education when it's freely available?
