The administration wants to eliminate programs for after-school activities and teacher training.
By Moriah Balingit and Moriah Balingit Reporter covering national education issues Email Bio Follow Danielle Douglas-Gabriel Danielle Douglas-Gabriel Reporter covering the economics of education Email Bio Follow March 11 at 6:37 PM President Trump is again proposing to cut billions of dollars from the Education Department, seeking to eliminate after-school programs, teacher training and grants for other school needs.
[Trump proposes $4.7 trillion budget with domestic cuts, $8.6 billion in new funding for border wall] The administration wants to eliminate a $2 billion grant program for teacher professional development. But it is hoping to increase funding for a grant program that would give teachers “vouchers” and allow them to pick their own professional development.
With the Education Department in the midst of revamping the way it administers federal loans and grants, the agency is asking for more money to execute that overhaul. DeVos wants $1.8 billion for the project, the Next Generation Financial Services Environment, widely known as NextGen. That represents a $133 million spending increase on managing the federal student loan portfolio, according to Blew.
