Some people do not get good enough education and do not know how to effectively allocate resources.

Do you mean the other way around? Necessary social services should be the foundation with UBI built on top of it. Social services can do some things better than UBI can even when assuming everyone uses their UBI completely rationally.

Exactly. If you knew how to best allocate resources in your life, you probably wouldn't be in a situation where you need UBI.
