The Trump administration's recent cancellation of nearly $900 million in contracts tied to the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) poses a significant threat to education data collection and research efforts. This decision affects numerous contracts, particularly those related to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), resulting in a diminished capacity to gather critical data on student performance, financial aid, and other key education metrics. The long-term implications for policymakers, researchers, and the public could hinder informed decision-making about educational strategies and outcomes.
The Trump administration's cancellation of nearly $900 million in IES contracts significantly impairs the agency's capacity to research and report on education.
The cuts result in a severe information deficit for policymakers and researchers, jeopardizing understanding of student performance in K-12 and higher education.
