Ontario's budget for post-secondary education draws criticism for falling short of expectations, impacting funding and international student numbers.

Ontario's latest budget not up to snuff for the province's post-secondary institutions, according to Liberal MPP Ted Hsu.post-secondary education. And it’s been a bad news budget for the last five years,” Hsu told Global News Friday.“So the government came back and said instead of two and a half, let’s do $1.3 . And so they didn’t even meet the very modest request from their own blue-ribbon panel on what post-secondary funding needs to be,” Hsu said.

In a statement to Global News, St. Lawrence College President Glenn Vollebregt said, “Colleges like SLC must adjust and reduce where necessary to try to regain a stable position while continuing to train people for the jobs our region needs filled. “The fact is that the IRCC decision will lead to fewer students coming to Kingston and Eastern Ontario to study, to live, and to work.”

Echoing the sentiments from St. Lawrence College, Queen’s University said in a statement of its own, “While out-of-province students make up a small proportion of Queen’s students in comparison to the number of Ontario students, we have always welcomed students from across Canada and expect that to continue… they are an integral part of the Queen’s community.“We are still assessing the impact of the international study permit cap allocation on the university.

The province is also hiking tuition fees for international students, which could make Ontario a less desirable place for them to study – meaning the funding coming into Ontario’s higher education could fall even further.Energy and base metal stocks help boost S&P/TSX composite, U.S. stock markets mixed
