With no regard for American taxpayers, Democrats churned out student loan forgiveness plans in an attempt to sway voters.

Those irresponsible and shortsighted policies end today.

[U.S. Department of Education @usedgov]

Thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, @POTUS is making postsecondary education more affordable, attainable, and aligned with real-world career demands.

[University of Hawaii System @UHawaiiNews]

History rocks! Had a wonderful time with students, teachers, and local leaders at Mokulele Elementary School celebrating America's founding and deepening our understanding of civics education.

Common sense prevailed. The Trump Administration’s reforms will stop taxpayer dollars from subsidizing organizations involved in illegal activities such as terrorism, human trafficking, and child mutilation procedures that are doing irreversible harm.

Higher education is healing after decades of misplaced priorities.

The Trump Administration's fourth consensus rulemaking moves us closer to re-envisioning accreditation so it once again reflects quality, accountability, and value for students.

[ED Under Secretary @EDUnderSecKent]

Imagine finding out your Governor or Attorney General signed onto a lawsuit that would make higher education MORE expensive for you and your family.

Instead of fighting skyrocketing tuition costs, they’re siding with institutions that want to charge whatever they want, while students are left drowning in debt for overpriced graduate programs.

[ED Under Secretary @EDUnderSecKent]

Workforce Pell is all about restoring common sense to higher education: lower costs, faster pathways to jobs, and more opportunities to achieve the American Dream.

[Acting Secretary Keith Sonderling @Sonderling47]

Workforce Pell was created in response to a simple truth: a great education and a better life do not necessarily require a four-year college degree.

At @USDOL, we are proud to partner with @EDSecMcMahon and @usedgov to help students gain the skills they need to succeed in today’s workforce. 🇺🇸

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

The Trump Administration is ending the era of runaway tuition hikes fueled by unchecked borrowing access.

Schools had no incentive to control costs and students, families, and taxpayers got stuck with the bill.

We put a stop to it.

[Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47]

Trump admin rolls out Workforce Pell Grants to fast-track workers into high-demand jobs https://t.co/YSEj58Rdfz

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

For every 5 skilled trades workers who retire, only 2 replace them.

That’s why @POTUS created the Workforce Pell Grant program — helping students train for high-wage, in-demand careers in a matter of weeks with little to no student debt.

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

About time.

Divisive and unlawful standards have no place in our higher education quality assurance system.

[House Committee on Education & Workforce @EdWorkforceCmte]

Criminals are getting rich off your tax dollars—exploiting federal student loan programs and stealing money from students, borrowers, and the American people. @EdSecMcMahon tells @RepJamesComer that the solution was simple: a photo ID. That one simple change is now helping @usedgov root out waste, fraud, and abuse in our federal student loan programs.

[ED Under Secretary @EDUnderSecKent]

Spoke @AEI yesterday with @DrBethAkers about why accountability in higher education is crucial. Students deserve programs that truly deliver economic value for the investment they and taxpayers make.
