The US already has one of the highest rates of university graduates per capita in the world, even higher than a country like Finland which doesn't charge tuition at all. The main difference is anyone with money can get into a university in the US while in Finland you have to earn admission through good grades and successful entrance exams.

It's the similar Denmark. Basically you get to a certain point in public school where they assess your grades, strengths, interests, etc., and they try to stream in you the right direction from there (e.g. trade school vs. university).
