My father has just passed away. I am currently involved in a dispute with my brother who believes that I have been advantaged because our father financed my higher education. Are these amounts reportable to the estate?

No. In principle, the law provides that education costs are not reportable to the estate (article 852 of the Civil Code), just like the costs of food, maintenance, learning, ordinary equipment costs, wedding gifts and usual gifts.

However, this legal exemption from reporting to the estate only applies if your father has not expressed a contrary will on this subject.
