Higher Education in Canada Study Abroad Canada. Higher education in Canada is the constitutional responsibility of the provinces. The two main types of institutions providing higher education are 17 universities and 25 colleges of applied arts and technology (CAATs). Universities are degree-granting institutions. CAATS provide technical and vocational programmes usually leading to a Certificate or Diploma. In September 2000, the Postsecondary Education Quality Assessment Board (PEQAB) was established to advise the Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities on the suitability of new degree programmes, including college applied degree programmes, those offered by out-of-province institutions and by any private institutions located in the province. Institutions will apply to the Board to have their programmes approved. Once an application is reviewed, and a decision is made, the Board will submit its recommendation to the Minister who will then determine whether to approve the programme. Universities are independently-administered institutions with full autonomy on admissions and all other academic matters. The governing bodies of the CAATs are appointed by the Ontario Council of Regents (OCOR), a provincial government agency. Besides various government-supported pre-employment, apprenticeship, there are also many private vocational or career training institutions, which are required to register with the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.
