Because education, like anything else, is a valued commodity. It is also a very expensive one because of the time and resources required to acquire it.
You can buy education, or you can earn it. Therefore, you CAN be educated at the best schools. If you are stupid, lazy, and poor... then you can't. However, a driven student can find the means to get the best education for themselves.

Define "best". Your education is what you put into it. Check out "In a Universe of Their Own". It's about Harvard graduates that can't describe the orbit of the moon and earth, can't correctly identify the parabolic trajectory of falling objects, and don't realize that the material in a log comes primarily from carbon dioxide in the air. Plenty of people become successes by pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps and making their own education. Others get the finest educations and couldn't possibly fix their own electrical or plumbing problems, they're too stupid to manage.
Don't worry about it. A real education is what you get on your own anyway, be it what you take out of classes you're in or what you learn from life on your own.

Meaning what? A free education at only the best? An education that's handed to you rather than earned?
You're going to have to more descriptive here because your question is very vague.

Because not everyone has the background necessary to succeed at those schools, or the dedication required.

I went to Duke and Berkeley -- so, I reject your premise.
