PETER Shreeve, presently active as the assistant district secretary for the National Education Union (NEU) on the Isle of Wight has been named Southeast Region Officer of the Year.
Due to Covid restrictions, the certificate could not be awarded in person at the Easter National Conference and arrived in the post earlier this week.
When the NEU was formed, Peter was joint district secretary. After years of teaching, 20 of which have been on the Island, he has continued to volunteer.
He was elected assistant district secretary, serving as teaching and support staff representative in meetings with the Hampshire Inspection and Advisory Service, which advises the Island education service.
Peter was nominated for the honour by NEU district secretary and executive member for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, Dr Dominic Coughlin.
On receiving the award, Peter said: “I am thrilled to receive this recognition, which indirectly also acknowledges so many colleagues at all levels, who regularly give up their free time to support education behind the scenes.
"Having to adapt to Covid-19 has meant additional changes with all educational establishments having to adapt to new ways of learning, teaching and connecting with all students, while keeping them and staff safe.”
