Education and the Second Trump Administration, 471 Days In

Although the Trump administration’s efforts to reform education might not be making national headlines quite as often as they did one year ago, a lot has still happened in education over the last several months.

The Trump administration has continued its push to dismantle the Department of Education. Elite universities are making efforts to reform campus culture. The Department of Education released a major report on the future of the Institute of Education Sciences. And campaigns to limit phone use and, now, screen time in school continue to gain momentum.

To make sense of it all, on this episode of The Report Card, Nat Malkus discusses these developments, and more, with Andy Rotherham and Rick Hess.

Andy Rotherham is a co-founder and senior partner at Bellwether and the author of the Eduwonk blog.

Rick Hess is a senior fellow and the director of Education Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute.
