Giving students some insights over how transparent OCAS is bodes well for its wide-spread adoption by more colleges and potential students in the coming years. Since education is one of the sectors that traditionally happens to be ignored by public representatives and successive governments, it is good to see initiatives like OCAS maturing and making use of technology to simplify the lives of all stakeholders involved in the academic sector.
We hope OCAS comes to other provinces as well since there should be no stone unturned when it comes to expanding public literacy levels.
