> I think in German it’s almost 80% of people, in Switzerland its below 30%

This doesn’t seem supported by any data I can find.

“In 2009/10 there were 3,094 gymnasia in Germany, with c. 2,475,000 students (about 28 percent of all precollegiate students during that period)”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnasium_(Germany)

A similar measure that’s a bit more comparable and easier to find data is rates of tertiary education. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tertiary_...

If you look at the 4-year degree chart, Switzerland’s graduation rate is 49% while Germany’s is 28% for the year 2015. That would be unlikely if Germany’s per-capita attendance for Gymnasium was more than twice that of Switzerland’s.

Maybe it is lower then I thought. I can't seem to find Swiss data, 28% could be in line with Switzerland.

Not sure where my number come from, honestly the last time I was interest in this was when I was in school.

The OECD, I don't know how it is calculated.
