President-elect Donald Trump is a month and a half away from taking office for a second term. Among the areas he's vowed to make big changes is education — from  dismantling the U.S. Department of Education to cutting federal funding from schools that teach about gender identity or advance diversity initiatives.

What does this all mean for education in Massachusetts?

On Radio Boston, WBUR's shares her reporting. Then, former Massachusetts Secretary of Education Paul Reville reflects on the impact Trump had on education in his first term.

This segment aired on December 4, 2024.
