President Donald Trump signed a distinct set of executive orders on April 23 aimed at reconfiguring U.S. education policy across K-12 and higher education. The directives include encouraging artificial intelligence education in schools, reformulating college accreditation standards, removing former President Barack Obama-era guidance on school discipline, and implementing new transparency rules for foreign funding in universities.
