Listen "Redefining Federal Education Oversight Through Interagency Transfer"

Episode Synopsis

 What happens when the U.S. Department of Education begins transferring many of its key responsibilities to other federal agencies? The department has signed agreements to shift oversight of major K–12 and higher-education programs as part of an effort to “break up the federal education bureaucracy,” leaving schools to navigate a more fragmented system. Supporters say it reduces federal overreach, while critics warn it may create confusion and weaken accountability. (Source: Education Week)
