On Jan. 14, 2025, the U.S. Department of Education will host its capstone event, “The Impact: Our Fight for Public Education.” This event will take place at the Department’s headquarters in Washington D.C., with a keynote address and moderated discussion with U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona, and remarks from U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education Cindy Marten and U.S. Under Secretary of Education James Kvaal.
The event will celebrate the Biden-Harris Administration’s work to expand educational opportunity in partnership with educators, students, families, and community, private sector, and organizational leaders over the past four years. Speakers will make a call to action to raise the bar in education even further and to continue to fight for students, families, schools, and communities.
The Department also will publicly release a report that spotlights how the Administration leveraged historic investments not only to reopen schools and kickstart pandemic recovery but also to defend public education and deliver real results for America’s students. The full report can be accessed here.
