Based on the novel The Lekki Headmaster, what was given as a reward to teachers whose students scored distinctions in their subjects?

Answer Details

This comprehension question asks about the reward system at Stardom School for teachers whose students achieved distinctions. The passage describes how the school management used financial incentives to motivate teachers towards excellent results.

Teachers whose students scored distinctions in their subjects were given thirty thousand naira each as a reward. This monetary incentive was part of the school's performance-based approach to staff motivation, directly linking teacher compensation to student outcomes.

The other options do not match the passage. The amount was not twenty thousand naira, nor were the teachers given only bottles of wine or commendation letters. The specific monetary figure is a detail that tests careful reading of the passage. The reward system also serves to contrast with the reprimand given to teachers whose students performed poorly, highlighting the school's dual approach of incentives and accountability.
