This article appears to be misrepresenting what at least some of the statistics are actually saying. For example, in Germany, the percentage of people with higher education is lower because the system is set up to guide people into trades and apprenticeships, and that path through the education system probably doesn't qualify as "higher education". It's hard to know without digging into the source material, and touting that there are other education options besides college / university wouldn't support the policy attack the article is peddling.
