Accountability

Accountability

Currently, more than 585,000 students are enrolled in Ontario college and university programs, and another 120,000 student apprentices are learning trades.

In bringing evidence-based research to the continued improvement of Ontario’s postsecondary system, HEQCO is exploring how to design a responsive and efficient postsecondary education system.

As part of our research focus, we investigate:

  • how Ontario’s postsecondary system is performing on quality and accessibility objectives,
  • what design changes would enhance performance, and
  • how the government and postsecondary institutions can be held accountable for effective use of public and tuition dollars.
