What does this do?
The Armenian Genocide Education Act directs the Librarian of Congress to create a national program teaching the 1915-1923 mass killing and displacement of Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians, and other Christian groups by the Ottoman Empire. The program would produce teaching materials, best practices, training workshops, a fellowship for educators, and an online resource hub.
Who does it affect?
This affects public and independent K-12 schools, teachers, and students who choose to participate, plus the Library of Congress, which gains new duties and reporting requirements.
Why does it matter?
Participation is voluntary, so no school is required to teach this material, but partner organizations without existing programs would be prioritized for support.
What does it cost, and who pays?
- $2 million per year
- funded 2026-2030
- private donations also allowed
