Texas implemented three significant educational changes in 2025. Governor Greg Abbott’s school voucher bill, Senate Bill 2, allocating $10,000 for private schools or other approved educational expenses. However, opponents argued that it will drain funding from public schools and not hold private schools to the same accountability standards. Additionally, a bible-based curriculum for elementary school students will be introduced, with an additional $60 per student for districts that opt-in. Lastly, the elimination of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) departments and trainings in institutions of higher education has been prohibited, causing concerns about the impact on equity and inclusivity in higher education.
