Trump administration cuts education data collection as scores fall

Original: ✂️ Trump administration guts data collection on US education as math and reading scores plummet “We were going to study

The Trump administration is scaling back federal data collection on US education, cutting long-running studies that tracked children's learning. Researchers say a study following pupils into first and third grade to measure how the pandemic affected their development has been halted, meaning its effects may never be fully understood. The cuts come as national math and reading scores continue to decline, prompting criticism that policymakers are dismantling the evidence base at the very moment student performance is worsening.

Why now: The cuts coincide with falling national test scores, raising concerns about accountability and transparency in US education policy.
