Abstract
Educated groups have better physical and mental health in later life. But is the type of school per
se a cause of better later life health or it is simply that, for example, those attending “better”
schools tend to come from a more advantaged background? This study looks at long term effects
of education, specifically stratifying students based on their academic ability through selective
schooling.
