"Washington Watch: Trump's Education Department Reforms Threatened by Congressional Action The Trump administration's ambitious plan to overhaul the US Education Department has been making waves in the nation's capital. As part of this effort, the administration has already targeted the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), the department's independent research arm. The IES plays a crucial role in providing policymakers with evidence-based research to inform education decisions. Now, a new development in Congress could deal another blow to the department's reforms, sparking concerns about the impact on education policy and research."
