Abstract: In accordance with the Reports Consolidation Act of 2000, the OIG reports annually on the most serious management and performance challenges the U.S. Department of Education (Department) faces. For FY 2026, we identified five management challenges the Department faces as it continues its efforts to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access. These challenges are add (1) change management; (2) oversight and monitoring of grantees; (3) oversight & monitoring of student financial assistance programs; (4) data quality and reporting; and (5) information technology security. The report includes a summary of each challenge, a brief assessment of the Department's progress in addressing each challenge, and shares information on further actions that, if properly implemented, could enhance the effectiveness of the Department's programs and operations.
