Northern Ontario is mentioned in a report about physical education teachers in elementary schools.The study from People for Education found that only 22-percent of schools in the north have phys-ed teachers, compared with 75-percent in the Toronto area.
Majority of schools in the area don't have teachers that teach only phys-ed classes, instead the classes are taught my each teacher.
The report also says that due to the shortage, it's preventing students from getting the 20 minutes of daily physical activity, which is recommended by the province.
