Zuckerberg's School Closing Amidst Funding Controversy
Tap title to read story
The Primary School, a tuition-free private school founded by Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, will close next year due to purported funding issues. The school, which served low-income families and people of color, provided access to education, healthcare, and social services. Its closure comes amid Meta's cuts to DEI programs and a broader political shift against such initiatives. While the school offers families financial assistance for enrollment elsewhere, the amount is insufficient to cover the cost of private education. The school's closure is criticized considering the founders' immense wealth, leaving families devastated by the loss of essential support.
