Are officers so indoctrinated too? In 1994, 25% my squad were graduates. All had enlisted as privates.

Well, points for saying sir. My reply was to Davelovesdee's post. I took most of the essay from Principles and Methods of Instruction (it's probably the same book in UK NCO training so you've seen it), and a handfull of other texts. Without indoctrination you have no esprit, and without that, well, it's no fun. Yours isn't the only success story and I wasn't saying the military was no good.
The longer you've been out of school, the harder it may be to take to the classroom, so that can be a factor.

The military paid for their education and they worked their way up, probably, it's a good deal if you qualify.
Edit: I have no way of knowing how they got their degrees, and Officer Candidate Training Program or equivalent may not have been a factor.

The military have a great deal to answer for in many countries.
We list the beneficial aspects of military life and conveniently forget to mention that a major part of their education is one of learning how to kill efficiently and most worryingly without question when ordered to do so by lunatic politicians...

From my experience, if the military paid for their degree they would enlist as officers and would have to spend a minimum period in the military or else face repaying a portion of their education. I have never heard of anyone that had the military pay for their education enlist as a private.

When I was in the British Army, it was possible for members of the RAF to enlist as conscientious objectors and so be able to avoid any form of training that dealt with firing their weapons.
