President's Education Investment Cuts Even Farther Below 2011 Level in Real Terms

This analysis examines the President's budget requests and the changes in discretionary funding for the Department of Education, showing a significant decrease in investment in education. The data reveals that federal funding for education has remained flat for years, falling below the 2011 level in real terms. Despite education accounting for less than 2% of all federal spending, the President's budgets reflect the largest cuts ever requested in education, including rescissions of Pell grant funds.
