Grammar
Not that
‘Not that education or skills are signs of intelligence as such, but there is a correlation.’
The example sentence is from Oxford dictionary.
What is the grammatical function of " that" here? Is it an independent clause having " education and skills" as subject?
Thanks

I would say that "Not that ..." is a reduced form of "It is not the case that ..." or similar. Presumably "that" is a conjunction.
