The Saskatchewan CCF: Education Policy and the Rejection of Socialism, 1942-1948
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper seeks to examine the nature of the CCF's educational philosophy prior to and during its first term as the government of Saskatchewan (1944-48) and to compare that philosophy to the policy and practice of the Department of Education during that term. The purposes of this comparison are (1) to assess the extent to which the CCF in Saskatchewan was able to articulate an educational philosophy which took into account the socialist aspect of the movement/party's origins and (2) to assess the degree to which such a philosophy became implemented policy in the early years of the Department of Education under the CCF Minister, Woodrow S. Lloyd. Such an examination is part of a larger historical and political question which can now begin to be answered: to what extent were the policies of CCF governments different (that is more socialist) from other provincial governments committed to the maintenance of the capitalist system; what was the nature of those differences, if any; and what were the philosophical and political forces behind such differences?

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
