Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper examines the education policies of Canada’s provinces and territories from the angle of governance and its evolution. It is based on the analysis of empirical data from case studies (approximately 25 pages each) on the educational policies of Canada’s thirteen provinces and territories, and their evolution since 1990. It is argued that the importance of standard-based governance (defined by educational managers in keeping with international institutions), the centralization of curriculum and assessment, observable in many provinces and territories, the will to grant more powers to parents (wider school choice, for example) point to the externalization of education. This implies a relatively autonomous process of penetration and transformation by strategies external to a field of activity. Free-market-oriented governance extends this policy of externalization and gradually transforms education into a market product.

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.
