Proclamation 10891 of January 31, 2025 

National School Choice Week, 2025 

By the President of the United States of America 

A Proclamation 

Throughout our Nation’s history, our schools have been the gateway to 

the American Dream, the portal to American prosperity, and the foundation 

of the American spirit. During this National School Choice Week, we reaffirm 

our commitment to empowering American parents with the freedom to 

choose the education that best suits their values, matches their children’s 

needs, and equips their families to lead long, flourishing, and fulfilling 

lives. 

As American citizens, one of our most righteous obligations is to uplift 

the youngest among us, and to remove the hurdles obstructing the dreams 

of our children, our grandchildren, and generations yet unborn. During 

my first term, our Nation made tremendous progress on educational freedom. 

With support from my Administration, dozens of States enacted school 

choice programs that empowered millions of parents and inspired children 

to seize their futures. But there is still more work to do. As we return 

authority over education from Washington to the States, and from bureaucrats 

to parents, I recommit to working with State and Federal lawmakers to 

provide educational freedom for every American family. 

School choice is not only about returning freedom to our classrooms, but 

also about common sense. Freedom in education leads to higher graduation 

rates, increased competition among schools, and improved reading and math 

scores. School choice is also closely linked to school safety, as it allows 

parents to play a primary role in protecting their children. As we begin 

bringing down costs for families, educational freedom proves far more efficient than the outdated system we have been stuck with, generating up 

to $23.8 billion in net fiscal savings for American taxpayers. 

As President, I will never stop fighting for every American child to receive 

the world-class education they deserve. I will work tirelessly to ensure 

America’s education system harnesses and achieves its full potential. Whether 

their education is through homeschooling or charter, public, or parochial 

schools, we will renew safety, security, and sanity in our classrooms. 

This National School Choice Week, we resolve to promote a Nation, a 

culture, and a future that empowers our children, fortifies our freedom, 

secures our destiny, and unleashes the full potential of American ingenuity 

for many years to come. America’s golden age begins in the classroom, 

and when we rebuild the best education system in the world, the future 

will truly be ours. 

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States 

of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution 

and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 26, 2025 

to February 1, 2025, as National School Choice Week.
