Twenty-eight Ontario teachers found by their college to have committed a sexually-related breach of trust have lost their teaching credentials, the Star has learned. The Star found an inconsistent approach by the college, which regulates teachers in Ontario. However, as the Star’s investigation has found, employers at education institutions not covered by the Ontario College of Teachers would not know of the former teacher’s history if checking credentials. These revocations follow a new Ontario rule introduced last fall that banned from teaching any teacher disciplined for sexual abuse or child pornography. The Star will report on the names of the other 27 teachers when the College makes them available.
