The Progressive Conservative government announced in its recent budget that it will start tying more funding for the province's colleges and universities to performance outcomes.
On budget day, the government could not specify what criteria would be used to evaluate performance, but Training, Colleges and Universities Minister Merrilee Fullerton listed some Thursday in the legislature. Those measures will include graduation rate, graduate employment, graduate earnings, experiential learning, skills and competencies, research funding and capacity, and community impact."The funding that's going to the institutions needs to be spent effectively and efficiently and this is working towards that," she said."Other provinces are investing in education," she said. "This government is taking money away.
Oh my...what could be wrong with this clusterf_ck..?
so...rich people's kids are okay, others have to fit a narrow criteria...that should help to dumb down the populace, just what the conSELFservatives want...more people dull enough to embrace their regressive stupidity. ForThePeople my rear end.
Good. We have enough masters of greek mythology,journalism, women’s studies and pyschology. Let’s actually have meaningful degrees the graduates can use to get a real job....
And so for those communities already mired in unemployment and limited opportunities will now face lowered educational funding thus lowering a students ability to compete for those limited jobs or gain access to post secondary opportunities.
Close the Universities and open up trade schools. Old math Neanderthals.
So actually this is a good idea. You'd all be surprised to learn the publicly-funded colleges in Ontario are not regulated. They provide the courses they can sell regardless whether they lead to employment or not.
One word question how .
Can't say I disagree if the weight of the University's role to help students graduate is bigger than I'd like to think. Puts onus on the university to be more helpful and for students to stop being so entitled
It’s not hard to see how this will raise tuition costs for students!!
Maybe we need to go even further, have industry pay towards university places for the positions they need to fill in the future, this would mean less University places so more competitive, driving education standards higher but without all those pointless degree courses!
what is next ... funding of secondary schools based on the of students admitted to post secondary studies .... ?
Let me tell you how this ends. Ford cuts teacher's pay. Schools that specialize in training teachers get less money, because their grads earn less Those schools do a worse job of training teachers Those teachers do a worse job of teaching kids Those kids suffer.
Of all the jobs out there only around 25% call for a university degree of some kind. Does it make sense to lend money to kids, so they can be educated for jobs that don't exist, resulting in their living in heavy debt because they can't afford to pay off their loans?
Good. I would link it to employment in their area of study as opposed to earnings though. I think there is room for improvement in retraining programs as well.
He will privatize everything. Harris 2.0, never-mind Highway 407. Small grapes to what Ford is going to destroy.
