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more efficient than the outdated system we have been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.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
thirty-first day of January, in the year of our Lord
two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of
the United States of America the two hundred and forty-
ninth.
