Capitalism can keep people from studying because they need to work instead, or maybe they were in a low-income area and didn't get the chance to go to a good school to get the grades or knowledge they needed before higher education, etc.

Capitalism effects every facet of our lives, even in developed countries where we try to spend money to counter it's damages.

That's a fair point, especially about the low income areas which is definitely also a big issue here in Germany.

Sure, but that's kind of what Bafög is for. Sure that's also a loan, but one with very favourable terms.

Doesn't really help if you never make it to uni because your parents weren't able and/or willing to help you out with schoolwork and couldn't afford/didn't care to get someone else to help you.

Bildungsferne is, sadly, often passed along from parents to children.
