Secretary of Education’s grant priorities include school choice, returning to phonics
- The Secretary of Education announced three key priorities for discretionary grants focused on promoting evidence-based literacy, increasing school choice, and shifting educational control back to state authorities.
- These priorities respond to low reading and math scores and contrast with the previous administration's grant programs that focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
- The literacy priority promotes methods grounded in the science of reading, emphasizing explicit phonics and comprehension instruction, while returning education to states aims to reduce federal administrative burdens.
- McMahon emphasized the urgent need to improve this year’s poor reading and math results by focusing on fundamental skills, increasing educational choices, and ensuring that decisions about schooling are made as close to the student as possible.
- These grant priorities reflect a return to Trump-era policies prioritizing state authority and school choice and McMahon expects to announce additional priorities later in 2025.
