💠 What is the purpose of education in America?

That question brought together education leaders, policymakers, and students from across the country to the 2026 Reagan Institute Summit on Education in Washington, DC.

Over two days, we explored the challenges and opportunities shaping American education — from the legacy of ‘A Nation at Risk’ to school choice, AI in the classroom, civic education, and preparing the next generation to lead.
