Elon Musk's cost-cutting effort announced a variety of cuts at the education department totalling over $900 million, apparently aimed at hobbling Institute of Education Sciences, the research arm which tracks the progress of America's students. The
DOGE
team said Monday that the department had "terminated" 89 contracts, as well as 29 grants associated with
DEI training
. The move comes just days after new data showing reading achievement at historic lows.
