Soon after Donald Trump returned to the White House, his administration gutted the federal government's central education data collection and research funding agency, the Institute of Education Sciences. Researchers say the move jeopardized the nation's ability to figure out how to improve K-12 and higher education and its capacity to hold publicly funded schools, colleges and universities accountable. But the president didn't fully erase IES-which Congress created, and continues to require to exist, through the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002.
