Is Puerto Rico Paying the Price for Trump’s Education Policies?

With major federal education funding cuts from the Trump administration still echoing across the system, we need to ask: How will Puerto Rico’s schools and universities be affected?

And...Can we reimagine our education system to be less dependent on U.S. funding — and more aligned with our own priorities and vision as a Puerto Rican nation? Or are we stuck molding ourselves to U.S. requirements just to secure funding?

To unpack all of this, we’re joined by Chris Soto — former Senior Advisor to U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona — who brings an insider’s perspective on how these policies are made and what they really mean for the future of education in Puerto Rico.
