Trump education budget reaches pre -school financing and civil rights, but it enhances rented schools
President Trump proposes huge discounts for education in a budget request on Friday to Congress for the 2026 fiscal year, including decrease in the stage of pre -school and adult learning and the Civil Rights Office of the Ministry of Education.
The Minister of Education in the field of education said in a statement: “The president’s slim budget reflects funding levels of an agency ending with responsibility, turning some responsibilities into the states, and preparing a deliberate plan to delegate other critical jobs into more appropriate entities.
The largest changes include unifying 24 different K-12 grant programs and seven individuals with disabilities (IDEA) programs in financing flows. The Trump administration said this step is to get rid of the impact of the Ministry of Education on the states and give more strength to the parents of students with disabilities.
Trump wants to get rid of adult education programs that cost 729 million dollars, saying they are not working and focusing on younger students “they make therapeutic education for adults less.”
Development grants will receive a reduction of $ 315 million under the proposal of its budget, which says the grant was “a tool for the last management to pay diversity, fairness and inclusion (Dei).”
“Through this program, federal funding was provided to create evidence of” lessons to create high -quality care for LGBTQIA families in Oregon “in cooperation with an organization called” Pride Northwest “.
In another step to reduce the size of the Ministry of Education, the Trump administration is looking to reduce 35 percent of the financing of the Civil Rights Office, which is investigating discrimination complaints against both K-12 schools and higher education institutions.
Howard University, a historical black college and university in the country only, will get its financing to 2021 in a move that the president says will make the funding commitment more sustainable.
The rented schools, which are popular with Trump and other Republicans, were the only educational institutions that avoid the proposed discounts of the administration on Friday, where they got $ 60 million in financing.
McMahon said: “The slim budget provides billions of dollars in taxpayer dollars from going to repeated, unimportant or unnecessary programs.
Meanwhile, legislators are working hard on their spending bills. Republicans, who control both rooms, were divided into the best way to finance the government as Trump’s agenda advanced.
