The US Department of Education finalised a supplemental priority in April 2026 establishing AI in education as a formal grantmaking priority for discretionary grant programmes.

It does not create a binding mandate but channels federal funding toward AI literacy efforts, making it easier for states and districts to receive grants for AI education programmes.
