It's such a hard thing to control for though.
I think someone found some data that showed secondary school, specifically 6th form had the biggest determiner for future performance, but that was largely a factor of going to the top universities.

Some times just the use of the name of the school/university.
Have been to a boarding school and ran away. It was not a nice experience hence running away.
Went to very very good university for my job. Many times all that is asked is lecturers. Then I was taught by the guy that updated the 'bible' of the subject.

Are there state vs. private school studies that look at 10 years post graduation?
There’s a civil service study that show that privately educated graduates progress far more easily within the civil service because they don’t buy into the “official channels” for promotion i.e. be good at your job, work hard fulfill the right KPIs. The private school graduates tend to rely on social bonds over common interests/experience (old school tie) and this is why there’s less social mobility in the Civil Service than in the 1960s
I think it’s the same in a lot of institutions

Most of the private school kids I knew at uni were so spoon-fed during school they struggled when they had to do everything themselves. But then if they've got better contacts, their uni performance might've ended up irrelevant anyway. Maybe it was just the dropkicks that gravitated towards me though and the highflyers were busy elsewhere.
