'certain types of school?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'exams set mostly especially' is the wordplay.
'mostly' means to remove the last letter (most but not all of the word).
'especially' indicates anagramming the letters.
'exams'+'set'='examsset'
'examsset' with its final letter taken away is 'examsse'.
'examsse' anagrammed gives 'SAME-SEX'.

'for' is the link.
