Abstract
Canada is one of the major immigration countries, with a rich tradition of adult education and high participation rate in the adult education. The predominant philosophical basis of adult education is humanistic individualism with faith in self-education and responsibility of the individual for his/her own continuing education and development. Adult Education in Canada is defined very pragmatically and encompasses a broad spectrum of activities. It includes formal, non-formal and informal adult education activities, offered by public institutions as well as by non-profit, non-government organizations and private for-profit institutions and companies, which provide general education, vocational education professional continuing education, in group as well as individual programs of all kinds. General adult education, functional literacy training and basic adult education, as well as secondary school completion for adults vocational training, upgrading and retraining or post-secondary education of adults have important role in the adult education in Canada. Serious consideration is pay to professional preparation of adult educators, as well as to researches in the field of adult education. The most power target groups in the field of adult education are women and seniors. Special places among more recent innovations have credit for experience and credit banking. The two current major competing trends are the further vocationalization of adult education, and the shift from adult education based on institutions to independent learning.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
