Abstract
Education without borders is divided into two sections relating to the International Baccalaureate (IB) over a forty-year-period. The first is a comparative study of the IB Diploma in Australia and Canada. Drawing heavily on the work of Bourdieu, it argues that the IB has become a provider of global cultural capital. It argues that students adopt the IB as much for the cultural capital they acquire as for its use as an entry point qualification to the worlds' most prestigious tertiary institutions. The second section draws on an innovative study on three primary schools in Montreal adopting the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP). This book allows an opportunity for critical reflection on what constitutes an international curriculum and how various schools in Canada and Australia have used this curriculum. It assesses the potential significance of this curriculum model for all schools. Bagnall's innovative research shows how important the choice of curriculum is to all players in the education game. As Bourdieu (1993,p. 5) notes, ... a feel for the game ... is not always ... obedience to rules. The book will appeal to parents, teachers, researchers and students alike.

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.
