Teaching Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander History Act of 2025

This bill requires U.S. public schools (K-12) to integrate Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander history into existing American history and civics curricula. It amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to mandate that state standards, teacher training programs, and national assessments explicitly include this history. Key provisions include adding specific language to curriculum guidelines, teacher certification requirements, and the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The law directly affects school districts, educators, and students by requiring comprehensive coverage of these histories within current educational frameworks.
