Will the Education Department’s research arm survive Trump?

"Trump's Education Department Reforms Under Fire: Research Arm in Jeopardy In a move that has sparked widespread concern among education experts, the Trump administration's efforts to significantly scale back the Education Department's operations have now put its independent research arm in the crosshairs. The Institute of Education Sciences (IES), a non-partisan organization responsible for providing critical research and data to inform education policy, is facing potential cuts as Congress considers a new spending bill. Critics warn that such a move would not only hinder the department's ability to make informed decisions but also undermine the nation's ability to drive innovation and improvement in education. As lawmakers weigh the fate of the IES, the future of education research hangs in the balance."

The Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle the Education Department have ensnared even its independent research arm. Now, it might take another hit from Congress.
