Welcome to
The Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario

Message from the Chair

The Council is an arm's-length agency of the Government of Ontario established to conduct research and provide objective advice on all aspects of higher education.

Education is essential to a productive economy and a civil society. We all, therefore, have a stake in ensuring access to colleges and universities of the highest quality and greatest relevance to the world our students will inherit.

The Council’s goal is to study Ontario’s own experience and that of other jurisdictions, and to do so in collaboration and cooperation with all who have an interest in higher education in Ontario. That way we can provide sound policy advice on ways and means to improve quality, access, and accountability.

Information will be posted on this site on how you can participate and I invite you to share with me your thoughts, ideas, and concerns.

The Honourable Frank Iacobucci, C.C., Q.C.
Chair
Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario
