I'm currently studying at the EPFL (one of the two Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology) and fees are actually almost half the amount you state -- I pay around 1250$ a year.

Some universities have slightly higher pricing for non-EU/Swiss citizens.
Fees don't even reach $2k/year to study at undergraduate/graduate level and children are encouraged to think vocationally from a young age.
Also, teachers are very well paid (my partner is a high school teacher and starting salaries are $6-8k/month) and have to undergo 5 years of training (to teach a subject at high school level you need a master in the subject).
