This testimony discusses (1) the need to reexamine the programs previously suggested by Education for elimination because they duplicate other programs, their purposes are already achieved, or they are more appropriately funded through nonfederal resources; (2) potential funding cuts that Congress may want to consider in higher education programs; (3) Department programs related to employment training that overlap with each other and other programs outside the Department; and (4) ways to reduce the negative impact of any Title I or other formula grant funding reductions. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-HEHS-95-56/html/GAOREPORTS-T-HEHS-95-56.htm GAO/T-HEHS-95-56 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-HEHS-95-56 Testimony GAO/T-HEHS-95-56; Department of Education: Opportunities to Realize Savings; Oversight by Congress Government guaranteed loans Student loans Higher education Deficit reduction Budget cuts Education or training Educational grants Student financial aid National Performance Review Dept. of Education Perkins Capital Contributions Program State Student Incentive Grant Dept. of Education Consumer and Homemaker Education Program School Dropout Demonstration Assistance Program Dept. of Education Immigrant Education Program Dept. of Education Impact Aid Program Federal Family Education Loan Program National Direct Student Loan Program Pell Grant JOBS Program Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training Program Vocational Education Basic Grant JTPA Job Training Partnership Act Program Adult Education Basic Grant Even Start Program
