Answer:

According to Article 26 from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Education should be free and for all in the elementary level, and accessible based on merit in the technical and superior level. Finally, the article says that parents should have the right to choose what kind of education their children receive.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many countries where these conditions are not met. To start, there are some countries where not even elementary school is accessible to all children, and as a result, some children end up working or wandering the streets. This is common in very poor countries like those of Subsaharan Africa.

Secondly, higher and technical education is far from being accessible to all based on merit, even in some developed countries. The reason is that this type of education is often expensive, and many capable students from a poor background end up lacking the financial means necessary to engage in this type of schooling.

Finally, in most countries, parents have a limited choice of school for their children, specially those who are economically poorer. It is frequent that many public school available to low-income children are of low quality, and parents often have no other choice.
