Called by many "draconian" and "an end to public education as we know it," it recommends severe cuts of over $9 billion or 13% to the US Department of Education. It eliminates or reduces spending for several existing programs while recommending $1.2 billion for new school choice programs. Below are more detailed highlights.

Biggest Losers:
