Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'higher' indicates a greater/advanced level and 'education' is formal learning, so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to education at a more advanced (post-secondary) level. This construction and concept exist across many languages (e.g. educación superior, enseignement supérieur), making the relation transparent to B1 learners.
Etymology
Higher education uses higher to show learning above the normal school level and education to mean teaching and study. Imagine stairs where college and university stand on a higher step than high school, so it means 'education' at colleges or universities 'beyond' high school.
