Money. Not just the money to do just the teaching, it’s really hard to learn while you sleep in alley, or while hungry.
An uninformed electorate!
One aspect is that nothing would be truly free, either for the provider or the student. If you want a discussion on that philosophical point, re-question, but I reckon you are after mechanics, right?
1) Access to education over time. Does the targeted audience (children? adults?) have the stability to attend the school over the time needed? Do they have any access (not equal access) to the resources for academic success-libraries, internet, cultural, historical and scientific sites)
2) Why are they in poverty to start with? Are they able to succeed in our current economic structure? Do medical and emotional issues prevent successful instruction prior to treatment?
Side issue-the migration of HS from vo-tech education to college prep, and lack of skills training.
3) The political and economic will to fund quality universal education. Support for school taxes and bonds is usually much lower for those without school age children (even among grandparents)
Hope that helps
