The U.S. Department of Education has revealed a sweeping investment of over $1.15 billion aimed at boosting educational access and equity nationwide. The funds will target charter schools (with the largest single allocation yet in the federal charter schools grant program), historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs), and American history and civics-education programs. This move signals a significant federal push to re-direct resources toward under-represented institutions and boost civic learning.
