On March 28, Education Secretary Linda McMahon sent a letter to school officials saying she had moved the deadline up – to that very day. She said the department would consider releasing some funds, but only on a project-by-project basis. He then again hit out at the school’s governing board, saying it has become insular and that there is no mechanism to remove members the way there is in corporate America where investors can run board challenges. Since taking office in January, President Donald Trump has unilaterally cut education funding and downsized the Education Department, leading to numerous legal challenges.

The Trump administration also cut teacher-training programs that helped rural schools combat educator shortages and has threatened to withhold funding from schools with diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

In India education is provided both through public and private means. While the standard of education in private schools is pretty high, the public sector schools are lacking in both quality of education and facilities provided. ‘They have become monolithically leftist and that DEI ideology connects to the anti-Semitism problem because they’re teaching young people to make snap judgments about each other based on identity and skin color,’ the senior official said.  India has a relatively advanced education system in the region.

India has a literacy rate of 74 percent which is better than Pakistan’s 57 percent but significantly less thanSri Lanka’s literacy rate of 92 percent. His remarks came shortly after Education Secretary Linda McMahon sent a letter to Harvard President Garber saying that ‘Harvard is not eligible for any new grants from the federal government until they demonstrate responsible management at the university.’ WASHINGTON (AP) – A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the Education Department to undo a freeze on the last of the U.S.

relief money given to schools to help students recover academically from the COVID-19 pandemic. Nearly all that money had been spent, but some school districts received deadline extensions that gave them additional time to use it. Districts spent it on things like after-school tutoring, summer school, social workers, college counselors, library books and renovations to make school buildings safer. He has since asked the Internal Revenue Service to remove the school’s tax-exempt status, and on Monday, Trump’s Department of Education announced it was freezing even more funding for future research grants and other aid until Harvard concedes to a number of demands from the Trump administration.

For these grants to be re-issued, a senior Education Department official said Harvard ‘would have to enter into a negotiation with the government to satisfy what the government says is in compliance with all federal laws.’ Ackman, the founder and CEO of Pershing Square, made similar arguments on Tuesday, when he said Harvard should not be entitled to taxpayer funds when the school wastes money on what he calls ‘administrative bloat’  ‘The Trump administration won’t stand by as taxpayer dollars are used to support colleges that tolerate anti-Semitism or that support racist policies,’ the official continued during a call with reporters Monday night.

‘They have lost all future grants, their tax exemptions are at risk,’ Ackman said on a panel at the Milken Institute Global Conference where 5,000 financiers, educators and scientists gather to discuss critical issues of the day.
