Institutionalized is exactly the word you want, and many argue that this outcome is the more practical purpose of the school system. The trouble is that the world after the institutions is a wild west, and so people who were well institutionalized struggle to adapt or flee to comfort inside one of the institutions (big corporates count too). Happy enough with the outcome, they are defensive of the institution that supports their lifestyle and perspective. Fair enough really. I am being a bit general here, there is heaps of nuance and room for individual perspectives. But I think you are spotting exactly that, institutionalized individuals.
