Trump expands school choice: Will it offer greater flexibility or undermine public education in the US?

President Donald Trump’s executive order, Expanding Educational Freedom and Opportunity for Families, aims to revolutionize U.S. education by increasing federal support for school choice initiatives. By redirecting funds to charter schools, private institutions, and homeschooling, the order provides more educational options for families, particularly in underserved areas. It also includes provisions for military and indigenous students, while promoting flexibility in state policies to foster innovation and quality in education. However, the initiative may face challenges, including potential resource shortages for public schools.
