Little guidance around how money is spent on principals' wellbeing, is being seen as a key cause for excessive state-school spending.

A report from the Office of the Auditor-General - as reported in the Post - has discovered 54 schools were questioned for “sensitive” spending with no apparent educational benefit.

In 2022, the Ministry of Education paid $6.3 million dollars to 524 schools, with principals able to access up to $6,000 dollars each for wellbeing.

PPTA President Chris Abercrombie told Mike Hosking that there was little guidance on the money, which he says gave principals freedom to do as they see fit.

He says there weren't many rules about how the money should be used at the start.
