Research arm of Education Department sees cuts after DOGE review

  • A Federal research office is facing nearly $900 million in cuts after Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency found little need for its work, impacting 169 contracts abruptly terminated on Monday.
  • The latest NAEP results show that America's children have not improved in math and have lost ground in reading skills since the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Two research associations have called for reinstating the contracts, stating that much of the work is mandated by Congress and essential for reporting on education data.
  • Senator Patty Murray criticized the cuts, stating that they harm high-quality research needed to improve public schools, calling it wasteful and a threat to accountability in education.
