National School Choice Week, 2025

President Donald J. Trump has proclaimed January 26 to February 1, 2025, as National School Choice Week, emphasizing the importance of educational freedom and parental choice in schooling. This initiative aims to empower parents by supporting diverse educational options, such as homeschooling, charter, public, and parochial schools, which are believed to enhance educational outcomes, safety, and fiscal efficiency. Politically, this proclamation continues the push to decentralize educational authority from federal to state and local levels, potentially stirring debates around educational policy and funding priorities.
