Speaking from the Oval Office and joined by Education Secretary Betsy Devos, Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta
and students and teachers from across the country, Trump said the
directive was designed to create "new pathways for all of our citizens
to get the best jobs."
"My administration will do everything possible to provide
our children, especially kids in underserved areas, with access to
high-quality education in science, technology, engineering and math,"
Trump said.
White House officials teased the announcement earlier in
the day, indicating the Department of Education would be asked to funnel
$200 million in grants each year toward STEM education and training for students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
