What is meant by the term higher education.
Does it refer to the 1000's who go on to university and waste their time doing Micky mouse degrees.
Maybe a lot of those white folks in your graph prefer to get a real job.

Statistics like that do not prove any cultural influence.
They simply serve to feed bigoted people's prejudice.
You could provide a gender statistic, it doesn't prove any thing.
But you can bet bigoted people would jump on it to argue their particular prejudice is justified.

Why are you complaining then? Like all antivaxxers you are obsessed with Covid, itching to make a point, unhappy that the vaccine works for billions of people.
it means a "higher" level than you can learn at a school. Schools often teach up to "A" level (which is quite high) or Scottish "highers" though for other reasons many young adults fit in better at a "6th form college" or other institution
"Further" education is when you go on to study after leaving school, but not to Degree level. For example if you left school at 14 and later trained in engineering. One of my neighbours did that, he had formerly been a motor mechanic but is now a project engineer on satellite rocket launches.
It is quite hard work to study when you are used to being a grown-up with a job and a home of your own. I have a nursing sister friend who gained a relevant degree through OU, which was necessary for career progression. She was given study leave and other assistance by the hospital. Something similar often applies to people gaining professional qualifications, for example when I started my career I was part-qualified. You may get your classes and exams paid for by the employer (until you fail one, and have to retake at own expense). A naval officer of my acquantaince taught maths to junior ratings, enabling them to go on to study engineering, navigation and other specialities.
Some people who did not have such opportunity, resent the idea of education and learning for others. Hence slurs like "Micky Mouse." But a poor degree, or one in an irrelevant subject, has been no obstacle to, for example, Prime Minister Johnson (though he is rumoured to resent people who did better).
John Prescott, a former deputy prime minister, left school young with a poor education, but by hard work he bettered himself, and was lucky enough to get Union assistance in gaining more education. He went on to graduate from Ruskin College and the University of Hull. He is in many ways a more admirable man who overcame his disadvantaged origins, than Johnson who has led a priviledged life.
Some politicians know that less-educated people have a greater propensity to vote "Brexit" or "Boris" or "Tory" or "UKIP" and this may influence their support (or otherwise) for good education of common people.

Wow. A swerve on a swerve. I guess you are either just too thick to understand the original question or, like certain other posts of yours, you can talk the talk but not walk the walk. Which is it? Wait for it - I feel a swerve on a swerve on a swerve coming up. (Inserts smiley as per standard Ellal post to pretend it's just a bit of fun).Oh dear...
It ain't me that's frightened...
I'm living life as near as possible to normal...
But you on the other hand will do whatever you are told when the government shouts 'boo'!
Normally I would suggest you 'grow some' and then think for yourself...
Of course with you neither is possible
apparently anti jabbers only have on average 1 GSCE

Genuinely Scared of Coved Enjections?
(embrocation and emollient don't really fit.)
I always thought it was GCSE.
Judging by what some of them accept as the 'real truth' I think you are setting the bar far too high. For everyone who is of higher than average intelligence, there will be one who is of lesser than average intelligence, otherwise 100 would not be the average.
I thought they only had the 1 width of the swimming pool certificate.

No, chlorine is part of the Great Reset, they keep outside of the 400m swimming pool exclusion zone.
It looks like it is down to that to some extent but I suspect most of it is drive. It shows in workplaces too in that respect believe it or not and has made eastern europeans desirable in the past. Better numbers of people who do work and know they need too.
It’s Miss EllalI've never known a man constantly use the phrase 'awww bless' ............ just sayin
Talking of ellal I wonder if they are aware of this? https://news.sky.com/video/covid-19...bout-the-damage-they-are-doing-javid-12499695
Aren't they the ones complaining about cancer patients going without treatment because the beds are all taken by covid patients? Can't they see how pig-headed, selfish, stupid and cowardly they are being?

Were it not for these unthinking, selfish people, the stats suggest there would be 90% less covid sufferers occupying hospital beds, doctor and nurse time, plus all of the other things needed to support a patient in hospital. Stop treating them and they would soon come round to a sensible way of thinking.
