Higher Expectations for Higher Learning, the review of post-secondary' education in Ontario that is being led by former Premier Bob Rac, is an excellent step towards mak- ing tlic province a leader In education.

Any student will tell you that tuition fees are quite prohibitive and can he hard to man- age. Most students need to take out loans to cover education costs and living expenses, leaving them in debt after graduation. The drop-out rate is also a problem, and not just in Ontario. Data released by (lie Hae review suggests that 20 to 25 per cent of first- year students drop out. When so many stu- dents fed they cannot handle the emotional and unaiicial pressure of college or universi- ty, clearly we need more supports in place for them to rely on. While most institutions perform tlieir own quality surveys, (and there arc the provincially mandated Key Performance Indicators that Durham has performed exceptionally well in), the review also rightly points out that there is no across-the-board system of gauging the quality of the post- secondary classroom experience in Ontario. It is also accurate in highlighting the com- plicated relationships between colleges and universities. It can be difficult and confusing for students to transfer from program to pro- gram, and to gain recognition for their prior studies. By their very nature, colleges and univer- sities have different purposes, and the Rae review offers the opportunity to re-examine the relationship they have with eacli other, and how they can work together to provide students with a more effective experience.
