ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Universal basic education

Universal basic education means that every child, no matter where they live or how much money their family has, gets to go to school for free. Just like how everyone gets to go to the park and play on the swings, everyone gets to go to school and learn new things.

In many places, not every child has the opportunity to go to school, especially if their family does not have enough money to pay for it. Universal basic education is a way to make sure that all kids have the chance to learn and grow up to be whatever they want to be when they grow up.

Sometimes, governments need to help make this happen by building more schools or providing money to help support teachers and students. But, in the end, it is all about making sure that every child has a chance to learn, no matter what they look like or how much money they have.
