The Trump administration has announced six new interagency agreements to “break up” the U.S. Department of Education. Here’s what’s being changed. New partnerships with the Departments of Labor, Interior, Health and Human Services and State aim to leverage each partner agency to deliver programs that are better suited based on their respective areas of expertise. For instance, the partnership with the Department of Labor, labeled the Elementary and Secondary Education Partnership, allows the department to take a greater role in administering federal K12 programs, “ensuring these programs are better aligned with workforce and college programs,” according to a press release.
