What is your source on this? From what I read about the stats in France, more than 75% of a given generation obtain the BAC, the diploma that grants access to university. I'm fairly confident that for the recent years the majority of any given cohort does go to higher-ed.

It's not really an issue for anyone in France though. Maybe you can have a look at university fees here [1]. (<500€/y) Personally we didn't pay anything as it is entirely subsided for families with lower revenues.
