In Finland children are allocated to the school of their district until they are 16 or so (apart from some exception). School quality is seen as quite uniform, and poorer area schools get more funding. For-profit education or tuition (except for foreigners nowadays) is not allowed at any level of education that gives a degree.
Equal opportinity for education was a huge political project from the left in the 1960s. Nowadays its so popular that even the political right can't really criticize it, although there is a drift towards inequality, as in everything else.
