Ontario's private career colleges are experiencing significant financial strain due to a provincial freeze on student funding. This has led to the first-ever layoffs at Computek College after 35 years of operation. The freeze, implemented due to alleged Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) fraud, is impacting students' ability to pay for tuition and living expenses. College officials argue that a blanket ban unfairly penalizes institutions that operate legitimately. The government plans to introduce legislation to increase oversight in the sector.
