The US Secretary of Education recently expressed strong support for the autonomy of states in managing their educational systems. In a discussion highlighting the importance of collaboration, the Secretary commended the effective communication established with Columbia, emphasizing the need for states to have the authority to oversee their educational services and funding.

This commitment from the Secretary not only reinforces the decentralization of education management but also aligns with a growing trend among policymakers advocating for localized control. By enabling states to tailor their educational approaches, the Secretary aims to foster innovation and responsiveness to the unique needs of each community.
