Are school uniforms too expensive?

From The Panel, 4:41 pm on 4 February 2021

The school uniform can only be described as a 'grudge purchase'...

Dylan Reeve has written about this for The Spinoff, questioning why parents have to spend hundreds of dollars for "generic clothing when they can buy the same things at any local mall for less than half the price".

However, the chief executive of uniform manufacturer NZ Uniforms, David Bunnell, says uniforms are well-made, sustainable and worth the price.
