“Children can attend any school they choose without discrimination”
DISPUTED
The claim states children can attend any school without discrimination, but the evidence includes a report from The Guardian regarding a South African school accused of racism for telling black girls to straighten their hair, suggesting discrimination does occur in practice.

“Look at our health sector: despite the increasing numbers, services remain free.”
MISLEADING
While evidence suggests that state health services are provided 'free of charge', it also notes that monetary and time costs of travel pose significant barriers, and that many cannot afford private healthcare, making the claim that services 'remain free' a simplification of the actual accessibility.
