The Hechinger Report
Project 2025, backed by the Heritage Foundation, proposes reshaping the US education system. It includes expanding childcare for military families, eliminating the Office of Head Start, prioritizing home-based childcare, and incentivizing on-site childcare. It suggests releasing student performance data based on family structure, rolling back LGBTQ protections, privatizing education, scaling back school meals, and altering special education funding. It also proposes changes to teaching about race, Title I funding, affirmative action, data collection, Parent PLUS loans, Pell grants, and student loan forgiveness. The project’s impact is uncertain, requiring congressional action and potentially influenced by political changes.
