Yes of course they do. I imagine the stats would be similar in most countries. There are two types of conservatives:
The uneducated/ignorant, they choose conservative ideology because they are confused by different people and are afraid of any change they can see happening.
Those who have financial incentives. They know that their ideology is wrong and stupid, but they just don’t care. They are only interested in gains for themselves and their family and cronies. Also known as the “fuck you I’ve got mine” types.
Everyone else is just some combination of the two.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that both of those types would be against higher education. The uneducated/stupid are afraid of educated/intelligent people, and are confused when someone they know comes back from college changed from how they were when they left. The ones with a financial incentive are smart enough to know that education generally results in people becoming more left-leaning, and they also know that enough left-leaning people in a population can cause genuine political change – change that might hurt the bottom line of the rich – naturally they want to avoid that.
