The Education Department has released recommendations on “reimagining” the Institute of Education Sciences, the central federal education data collection and research funding agency, which the Trump administration gutted last year.

Among other things, the 93-page report, released Friday, says IES “should focus on the most urgent education challenges, informed by state and [school] district leaders,” instead of “spreading resources across many disconnected projects.” It also says that the National Center for Education Statistics, which is part of IES, “should develop a streamlined and coordinated data strategy while preserving and strengthening its vital core functions” rather than “funding multiple data collections and longitudinal surveys that may be redundant or outdated.””
