Schools and Work: Towards a Research Agenda
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper looks at current knowledge, current research capacity, and possibilities for increased capacity and a focused research agenda on the links between schools and work. The focus is primarily though not exclusively on the K-12 system. The paper first describes the political and economic context for thinking about school-work issues, noting the difficulties this issue has presented and continues to present to policy-makers and practitioners. The paper describes research capacity in Canada in light of an ideal-type model, noting both strengths and weaknesses in current arrangements. It provides a brief review of main findings from literature in Canada and other literature which highlight the complexity of the relationships between schools and the labour market. The review of findings gives attention to aspects of change in the labour market, to the importance of students ’ backgrounds, to aspects of the school system, and to the transition process itself. The paper concludes by defining five issues that would appear to have the highest priority for further research, and suggests some of the arrangements needed to pursue this agenda. The five suggested priorities are: better understanding of the dynamics of labour market

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 teacher head, not a consensus.
