Chair Foxx Announces First Education Hearing of the 118th Congress

This week, House Education and the Workforce Committee Chair Dr. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) announced the first education-related hearing of the new Congress. The hearing, “American Education in Crisis,” will examine the state of both K-12 and higher education. “Our K-12 education system should promote education freedom, protect parental rights, and provide concrete solutions to address learning loss,” said Dr. Foxx. “Sadly, it’s not just our K-12 system that is failing families. Colleges and universities aren’t being held accountable for poor outcomes, staggeringly high prices, and failing to prepare students for the workforce.” With education front and center in the “culture wars” and a hot-button political issue, the hearing is anticipated to be polarizing and contentious.
