What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Students at the University of Windsor joined a province-wide walkout to protest changes to the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP). The Ford government announced these changes in February, reducing the maximum proportion of non-repayable grants from 85 per cent to 25 per cent. Additionally, the province ended a seven-year tuition freeze, allowing colleges and universities to increase fees.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The reduction in grants and the end of the tuition freeze could force students to face significantly more debt and potentially abandon their post-secondary education. For institutions, the ability to increase tuition revenue is a direct financial impact of the policy changes.

Ontario has been reported to have underfunded public services, leading to the restructuring of OSAP and the lifting of the tuition freeze.
