Ontario’s economic future depends on world-class universities. We need adequate, sustained investment, not stop-gap funding and temporary fixes, to secure the future of our youth.

(11/11) MPPs acknowledge Ontario public universities require additional funding, but there is still much work to be done to secure the future of our province and Ontario’s next generation of voters.

OCUFA is discussing the issues and our proposed solutions with Ontario MPPs at today’s Advocacy Day. We’re calling on them to defend higher public education and Ontario’s students.

The future of the province depends on it.

Develop a funding model that supports and incentivizes enrolling larger numbers of academically qualified Ontario students.

The cost of the first year’s increase would be $511.8 million. Immediately fixing the funding gap would require an immediate $2.78 billion investment
per year.

Research by The Conference Board of Canada in partnership with Future Skills Centre emphasizes the urgency of sustainable funding for our Ontario post-secondary system. Stand with us. Demand that Ontario do better for the future of our learners and economy. 📣 #OntarioPSE

All of this is happening against a backdrop of chronic underfunding and program cuts. Ontario’s students and faculty deserve a government that values and invests in post-secondary education — not one that undermines it. Ontario can and must do better.
