My husband, Peter Griffiths, who has died aged 86, was passionate about education. He worked as an English teacher at Forest Hill and Upton House comprehensive schools in London in the 1960s, then as a lecturer in English at Furzedown College of Education for nearly a decade, and at the Ilea English Centre, which offered support to London teachers, between 1976 and 1978.
He then turned to television schools programmes, notably The English Programme, and worked at Thames TV (1978-92) and Double Exposure (1992-96). Before retiring in 1998 he spent a couple of years as a freelancer doing similar work.
