All errors and omissions remain the authors. Executive Summary Education boosts individuals ’ productivity and wages. A year of extra schooling increases earnings by around 5-10 per cent. Yet many individuals leave school with minimal skills and qualifications. These individuals go on to be disadvantaged in the labour market, in terms of earnings and employment prospects. Furthermore, having a larger proportion of unskilled workers than many other developed countries puts the UK at a disadvantage economically. It has long been argued that the way for these workers to “catch up ” is through lifelong learning. Certainly, the political rhetoric has been in favour of lifelong learning both as a way to enhance individuals ’ economic and non-economic lives, and as a means of increasing the stock of skills in the labour market, and thereby making the UK more competitive. Certainly, a significant number of adults are undertaking some form of lifelong learning. For example, the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE) 1996 survey suggested that a quarter of adults were currently learning, although estimates do vary. However, recent

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.
