U.S. Secretary of Education in the Trump administration; co-founder of WWE and former Small Business Administrator (2017–2019).
The Trump Administration has secured another transformative commitment from an Ivy League institution to end divisive DEI policies.
The Department has taken additional steps to better reach American students and families and root out the education bureaucracy that has burdened states and educators with unnecessary oversight.
America is a symbol of hope and liberty to the world. Our institutions must prepare students to carry that mantle, to lead with clarity and conviction, and to show the world what a free society can achieve.
Nearly half of America’s high school seniors are testing at below basic levels in math and reading.
Despite spending billions annually on numerous K-12 programs, the achievement gap is widening.
Discrimination based upon race or ethnicity has no place in the United States.
The Department looks forward to working with Congress to reenvision these programs to support underprepared or under-resourced students without relying on race quotas.
He believes that children should not be trapped in failing schools, and failing schools may be a school in which that child doesn’t feel safe.
