The White House has moved to reassign major Education Department programs across other agencies, marking a pivotal federal-policy shift for K‑12 and higher education. The administration announced interagency agreements that would shift grant and program oversight—TRIO and GEAR UP to Labor, Indian education to Interior, international programs to State and some health- and child-care responsibilities to HHS—intended to 'streamline' operations, officials said. The reorganization comes amid other department disruptions, including layoffs approved by the Supreme Court and litigation challenging the transfers. Separately, the Education Department delayed its annual Federal Student Aid conference—raising practical concerns among campus financial-aid offices about training and implementation timelines.
