The nation is in the midst of both a teacher shortage and a wave of book-banning attempts. At the same time, students are still working to recover from pandemic-era learning loss.
The Secretary of Education covered all that, plus ChatGPT, in a July conversation with TIME.
When the student-loan-payment pause ends this fall, what do you say to borrowers who won't be able to make ends meet? We announced the best income-driven repayment program in our country's history, which will change the experience for so many borrowers. It cut in half the college payments that are due to undergraduate students. We're also going to fight really hard to continue with debt relief. The Supreme Court got the decision wrong.
With the Supreme Court effectively overturning affirmative action, what practices could build more diverse student bodies at the nation's top colleges and universities? That's another example where the Supreme Court took us backwards a really, really wrong decision. It ignores the fact that in this country, as much as we're fighting for an equitable system, it's still not there we could be talking about health care access, higher-education access, K-12, education outcomes. Black and brown students, particularly, have to work twice as hard to get to that starting block.

WHEN DONALD TRUMP TOOK THE OATH OF OFFICE AS President in January 2017, his first foreign policy priority was to get tough on China. The Trump 2.0 Administration will continue that work. But when he strides back into the Oval Office in January 2025, Trump will also become responsible for U.S. management of two dangerous wars, the kinds of hot foreign policy crises he was fortunate to avoid during his first term.

The digital labor revolution
OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, WE'VE WITNESSED advances in AI that have captured our imaginations with unprecedented capabilities in language and ingenuity. And yet, as impressive as these developments have been, they're only the opening act. We are now entering a new era of autonomous AI agents that take action on their own and augment the work of humans. This isn't just an evolution of technology. It's a revolution that will fundamentally redefine how humans work, live, and connect with one another from this point forward.
