There's a belief support for first-time principals is falling short.
Newstalk ZB analysis has found 970 principals quit in the past three years – one in five within their first year.
Retirements jumped 26% over the same period.
Secondary Principals' Council Chair Kate Gainsford told Mike Hosking other countries have solid systems to prepare principals, but we don't.
