Those schools maintain their status and position by ensuring their alumni become leaders. Thus it is to their advantage.
Which brings us to the bigger picture... we live in a Darwinian word of evolve-or-die, strongest-will-survive. Thus passing on to our children the skills of leadership are part of this same desire for our children to thrive.
