Do you have evidence for statisticly significant increases in IQ that persist into adulthood as a result of education?

Success in education is correlated with high IQ. Much the same way high IQ is correlated with many forms of success.

Education does actually raise IQ.

…Whatever that means. It's meaningless to say fluid intelligence can't be improved with education, that's a tautology.

... we did not identify any studies that tested whether these effects persisted into adulthood. These estimates should thus be regarded with caution.
