Federal Restructuring of K-12 Education and State Control

 What does it really mean when the Department of Education says it wants to “return education to the states”? Critics argue that shifting offices to other agencies and merging federal grants may reduce oversight rather than increase state power, creating confusion and weakening accountability. With only about 10% of K–12 funding coming from the federal level, analysts warn that this restructuring could leave schools facing uneven support and wider disparities. (Source: The Washington Post)
