Hmm.. Not sure about this one. Pretty sure It's driven by sortition. Uni/College produces largely a filtering, sorting, norming, and match-making function. And cites don't include the contrary findings against class rotation, and that it's wealth and sorting - not equality.

Which is a rather complex way of saying that if you take out the effects of the social background, some children will still be cleverer than others. I cannot say I am sitting back in stunned amazement at this breakthrough!

More precisely, the educational attainment of these children will be more linked to how clever they are - or aren't - than their environment.

Try telling that to an educational psychologist. It’s about about opportunities according to them.

Well yes. If a characteristic has a genetic component, then the more equal the environmental influences on that characteristic, (nurture) become,the more important the genetic component will be. Perfect nurture will leave only genetics with sole responsibility for our differences
