Improvements in Education

President Donald J. Trump and his Administration have supported expanding school choice across the country so every parents have a voice in their children’s education. Donald Trump is also taking steps to reform the student aid process. In President Trump’s FY 2018 budget request, school choice was a priority for increased funding, including supporting $1 billion in Furthering Options of Children to Unlock Success grants for public school choice and $250 million to promote private school choice through the Education Innovation and Research Program. President Trump and his Administration are taking steps to reform the student aid process. Secretary DeVos implemented the year-round distribution of Pell grants, instead of limiting these grants to the Spring and Fall semesters. Low-income students will now have access to these funds over Summer and Winter breaks so they can earn their degrees faster with fewer loans. The Department of Education reformed the student loan servicing process to improve the customer experience and lower costs. Donald Trump and his Administration have identified and begun to end harmful regulations while maintaining protections for students, too. The Department of Education is working to ensure regulations on the books adequately protect students while giving States, institutions, teachers, parents and students the flexibility they need to improve outcomes. The Dept. of Education has identified and withdrawn nearly 600 regulations that are deemed unnecessary.
