Ontario PSE think tank announces its priorities

July 27, 2007

The Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario was created in January, with a 3-year mandate to evaluate the province's colleges and universities in comparison to the best the world has to offer. Yesterday, HEQCO released its review and research plan -- including student motivations, best practices in teaching and services, and successful college-university partnerships. HEQCO president James Downey promises, "Not everything we publish will be pleasant for the government... Not everything we publish will be pleasant for the institutions or the students." Canoe | Globe & Mail | HEQCO report (pdf)
