Answer

People are entitled to rights: education, right to free speech, right to life, right to liberty, etc.

Qualifications are what others use to judge if someone is capable of doing a job.

Answer

"Entitled" is the right answer.

entitled = means to have a title, a right or a claim to something.

qualified = means to have he qualities, accomplishments, etc., that fit a person for some function, office, or the like.

Explanation: All children have a right (entitled) to a quality education by virtue of their value as human beings. However, not all children are fit by their intelligence or accomplishments (qualified) to receive a quality education.
