Will the Education Department’s research arm survive Trump?

"Trump's Education Department Dismantling Efforts Reach Critical Point: Independent Research Arm in Jeopardy. The Trump administration's relentless push to shrink the Education Department has been a hallmark of its tenure, but a new threat looms on the horizon. The Institute of Education Sciences (IES), the department's independent research arm, is facing potential cuts due to proposed legislation in Congress. If passed, these measures could severely limit the IES's ability to conduct vital research on education policy, potentially leaving a gaping hole in the nation's understanding of what works and what doesn't in the classroom. As lawmakers weigh the fate of the IES, educators, researchers, and policymakers are bracing for a potential blow to the nation's education system."

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.
