US Secretary of Education Linda McMahon has launched a 50-state tour titled "Returning Education to the States" to promote local control in education. The initiative supports President Trump's goal of reducing federal oversight. The tour will include visits to schools across all US states, beginning in Louisiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee. McMahon aims to learn from successful state-led models and emphasises parental choice, community engagement, and decentralisation in shaping future education policy.source https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/education/news/linda-mcmahons-50-state-education-tour-a-push-for-local-control-or-a-cover-for-federal-influence/articleshow/123207252.cms
