Ontario universities, colleges urge provincial parties to invest or risk declines in quality of education

After years of government funding focused on increasing participation in postsecondary education, colleges and universities will be calling on the winner of the June 7 Ontario provincial election to invest in their institutions – or see the quality of education slide.

Changes to financial aid have expanded access to higher education, especially for underrepresented students, but now new money is needed to hire more faculty, add new facilities and enhance in-demand degrees, schools say.
