Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper examines Ontario, Canada and Chile test-based systems of accountability and compares the concerted actions taken by both nations to achieve quality of education. Central to the paper are a reflection on and an analysis of who are the final beneficiaries of these test-based systems of countability and how specific social groups, primarily racialized and gendered students, are marginalized and appressed through colorblind and neutral neoliberal policies that perpetuate and further intensify educational inequities under the mantle of “efficiency” and accountability”. The paper seeks to envision new and alternative possibilities that work towards denaturalizing global trends in education that are presented as scientific truths while suggesting recommendations that can enable envisioning and implementing an education system centered, guided, and accounted for by the needs of students and their surrounding local communities.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
