Ontario's colleges are at risk of further program cuts due to significant drops in international student enrolment, exacerbated by federal restrictions on study permits. Centennial College has paused 49 programs as a result. Experts, including the Ontario Public Service Employees Union, which proposes $1.4 billion in additional funding, warn that both program offerings and staffing levels are being reduced. Advocates are urging political action to address the financial strain on post-secondary education, emphasizing the impact on students and the workforce in the province.
These are good jobs in the communities, but more than that, we are actually training the workers in these sectors that Ontario needs.
The trick with this is that it could have been avoided.
Students are so concerned and rightfully so. They continue to be the ones that really take the brunt of all the cuts and program closures.
The Ontario Public Service Employees Union says $1.4 billion is needed to stabilize the college system in the province.
