Of course we would now consider it unthinkable that education in Canada should be only for those who can afford it - or health for those who can pay the doctors' bills. But what about the situation of people who are conveniently out of sight in the developing countries? If it's unthinkable for Canadian education to be other than universal, why is it that in some coun- tries only one child in ten can get even a rudimen- tary education?
