HEQCO, the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario, is an agency of the Government of Ontario dedicated to improving the postsecondary education system in the province. With the goal of ensuring that colleges and universities in Ontario are accessible, offer high-quality programs, and are accountable to Ontarians, HEQCO conducts comprehensive research, evaluation, and policy advice. This evidence-based approach allows them to explore key issues in higher education, such as student satisfaction, knowledge and skills acquisition, barriers to education, and underrepresented groups' participation. By conducting studies and evaluations, producing reports, and providing critical insights and information, HEQCO informs solutions and assists postsecondary decision-makers and the public in making informed choices.

The council's efforts contribute to creating a responsive and efficient postsecondary education system and enhancing accountability. HEQCO is committed to accessibility and ensures compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.
