“We will build a new online American Academy to make education patriotic and free.”
The promise
Trump’s Agenda47 plan introduces a government-endorsed online institution named the “American Academy.” The platform will offer free or low-cost accredited degrees, funded by redirecting endowment taxes from “woke” universities. The goal is to provide a patriotic, practical education alternative that avoids what he calls ideological indoctrination. Courses will focus on trade, business, and civic education. Experts question its accreditation and scalability, while supporters hail it as a revolutionary idea for educational freedom. By late 2025, the Education Department is reviewing partnership proposals to pilot the program.
