My friend Peggy George, who has died aged 93, was a history teacher known for the significant contribution she made to education in Wales.
Spending much of her career at Olchfa school, Swansea, where she rose to become deputy head and an examinations officer, in the 1980s Peggy was chair of the history panel of the Welsh Joint Education Committee, the schools exam body for Wales, helping to oversee the introduction of the first GCSE history exam in 1988, as well as changes to history A-levels. She was also chair of the Association of History Teachers in Wales from 1990 to 2007.
