This question is based on ‘The Lekki Headmaster’. What did Sola’s experience with her child’s medical emergency demonstrate about the healthcare system in the UK?

  1. That healthcare is expensive and hard to access
  2. That healthcare services are quick, reliable, and free for children ✓
  3. That healthcare for migrants is limited
  4. That emergency care can sometimes be delayed
Explanation

Sola learned that the UK National Health Service (NHS) provides quick, reliable, and free healthcare for children. This was a positive discovery about living in Britain.

The NHS is funded by taxes, so British residents do not pay directly for most medical services. This includes treatment for children, which impressed Sola coming from a different healthcare system.

The novel uses this detail to show the differences Sola observed between Nigerian and British systems, highlighting the benefits of universal healthcare.
