For example children with physical or mental problems, or financial trouble, e.t.c. Essentially the idea is to help spread literacy and education, which is presently being abused heavily.

That's certainly one goal, and one I would  Clap . However, my relatives don't want their children exposed to "dangerous" thoughts. This include the laws of thermodynamics ("entropy isn't in God's plan), astronomy (for obvious reasons) and non-whites considered to be equals to whites ("because God made man to be master over the beasts of the Earth.")

Unsurprisingly their kids routinely fail the test the State gives for certification of education.

The problem isn't the intention behind it but the implementation. It's too easy to register for it, in most places only the parent's intention is required, and parent's are at best required to produce a paper showing they have highschool level knowledge and they'll have permission to ruin their child's life.
