Education Secretary McMahon reaffirms that shutting down the U.S. Department of Education remains a key goal. One year into her role, she is prioritizing improvements in literacy rates. Additionally, she aims to expand school choice options for families.
Key Points
- Shutdown of the Education Department is still the primary objective
- Focus on enhancing literacy in K-12 education
- Commitment to expanding school choice initiatives
Implications for Educational Freedom
Shutting down the Education Department could significantly reduce federal government overreach, thereby enhancing educational freedom and parental rights in school selection. Expanding school choice directly supports EFI’s advocacy for vouchers, ESAs, and charters, empowering parents with more options outside traditional public systems.
