Education isn't something that people "deserve" or are "entitled to." Besides, there are different kinds of education and we shouldn't dismiss them just because we think "education" means the garbage with which governments indoctrinate their citizens' children. Also, intelligence has very little, if anything, to do with education - education doesn't make someone more intelligent and lack of education doesn't make someone less intelligent.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.
"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
