Strategic investments in healthcare, education, and STEM announced in the 2025 Ontario Budget will directly benefit students, faculty, and communities across the province.
On behalf of the University of Windsor, we are grateful to the Government of Ontario for its 2025 Budget and strong commitment to strengthening postsecondary education across the province.
We are especially encouraged by targeted investments that will make a real difference for our students, faculty, staff, and for our region:
- Expanding nursing education to address healthcare needs
- Strengthening teacher training pathways to support and improve student outcomes
- Increasing capacity in high-demand STEM fields
We are also pleased to see an increase in our operating grant funding for our STEM enrolment growth. These strategic investments reflect a clear recognition of the vital role Ontario’s universities play in preparing students for the careers of tomorrow, while addressing today’s most pressing workforce challenges.
Thank you, Premier Doug Ford and the Government of Ontario, for your partnership and support of higher education.
Together, we are helping educate the future workforce of Ontario and enhancing the innovation ecosystem.
