The Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) may run out of funding imminently, although Congress approved its funding through 2028. Managed by the U.S. Department of Education, ERIC houses approximately 2.1 million educational documents, vital for research. However, the Department of Government Efficiency has not approved fund disbursement despite plans to cut costs. Erin Pollard Young, previously managing ERIC, expresses concern that without regular updates, the invaluable data will deteriorate and become inaccessible to educators and researchers.
ERIC, which is essential for educational research, may face operational issues due to funding challenges, despite having support from Congress until 2028.
Erin Pollard Young cautioned that without constant maintenance, the valuable information housed in ERIC will become increasingly obsolete and inaccessible.
