Watch: Confirmation hearing for Betsy DeVos for secretary of Education

President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for secretary of Education, Besty DeVos, took her turn in the hot seat at her confirmation hearing before a Senate panel on Tuesday.

DeVos is a vocal advocate of publicly funded vouchers that are spent at private schools as well as charter schools, strategies that have produced mixed results and lead, opponents say, to less funding for regular public schools.
