May 25, 2022 · The decision to take a gap year between high school and PSE is an important one in the long term. Students who take a gap year may face high opportunity costs since they often substitute one year of lower-paying, pre- PSE work for one year of higher-paying, post- PSE work.

Two years from now, we can expect to see more robust and more sophisticated use of online education. This will be coupled with a recognition of the increased value of face-to-face instruction and campus life. Universities will also draw on the lessons of moving online to be able to increase offerings in the upskilling and reskilling space to meet t...
I think post-secondary education will expand its offerings beyond what we see today. Continuing Education was already one of the fastest-growing demographics for post-secondary schools. As a result of COVID-19 and its impact on unemployment rates, many people will be looking to make career changes and develop skills that are more aligned with the w...
COVID-19 has already caused a transformative shift in post-secondary education. Remote learning has altered the relationships students and employees have with their institution. Colleges and universities were pushed into transformative change – almost overnight – once campuses were closed in March and their winter terms moved entirely online. We we...
Academia is not typically known to be nimble, but COVID-19 has pushed post-secondary education far beyond its comfort zone of bricks and mortar and opened a door to tremendous opportunities for allyship and championship for stronger and more resilient communities across Canada.

The shift to the virtual realm prompted by COVID-19 doesn’t have a defined end date. There is no certainty in planning for a future beyond COVID-19, as we are still in the early stages of this pandemic, and timelines for vaccines and herd immunity are unknown. This could mean the “new normal” of online meetings, classes and lecture continues well p...

Because I have studied the intersection of people and technology, I already knew that, but it has not been a widely held view – even at the venerable Ontario Institute for Studi...
We anticipate that within two years, online learning will be more prevalent than it was prior to COVID-19. This has the potential to be a positive shift that enhances the accessibility and affordability of post-secondary education across the province, creating more opportunities to diversify learning and prepare students for a shift to an increasin...
Due to COVID-19, higher education is likely to continue online in the coming years. While this allows learners to complete their studies remotely, some of the benefits students get from post-secondary learning will be lost. For most new graduates to get work in their fields, they need more than just their degree or diploma. The soft skills graduate...
It was abundantly clear even before the pandemic that the workforce — and the education, skill development and training that learners require for it —was rapidly changing. The pandemic has simply necessitated a faster response to this reality. In two years, public policy related to post-secondary education will have likely advanced to responding mo...
Oct 18, 2020 · Canadians’ publicly funded post-secondary education system has been eroded over time, diminishing the promise it once held to protect people from poverty. We should demand change.
Sep 1, 2020 · For most middle-and lower-income families, the sticker price of a post-secondary education is prohibitive, stories of students accumulating massive debts are frightening, and the promise of relief against those debts, based on the experience of the past 30 years, is irrational.
