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.
Not only were league tables published, but formula funding was introduced. This meant that schools would receive funding based on the number of pupils they were able to attract. The idea behind all these measures was to force schools to improve by creating a competitive marketplace similar to that of

The fight on racism is one of the most important parts about the book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
