With people living and working closer together and improved communication, ideas like democracy and liberalism increased dramatically in popularity. However despite all of these changes in attitudes Britain was still primarily ruled and governed by the upper and upper-middle-class aristocracy.
Publishing schools exams results in league tables ensure that the school has to achieve phenomenal results if they want to attract likes of the consumers.

The parents of children from wealthy middle class backgrounds (bourgeoisie) could afford to send their child to public and grammar schools to receive an academic education. Whereas, children of poor working class parents could only receive a very basic level of education in elementary schools. Though they did receive some education, this was not to help them climb the social ladder, but rather to teach them the basic skills required for work and to obey authority.

In earlier generations, Asian immigrants felt that they were second-class citizens with lower incomes and lower job prestige, compared with white people. After studying relative success of white people, Asian Americans were aware that their humble educational backgrounds caused their low social status. Therefore, for preventing the next generation from repeating the same fate, Asian American parents already start addressing to their children about the idea that "school success is gaining entrance into the best colleges" when their children are still little (Tureba 134).
