Trump to Initiate Closure of the Department of Education with Executive Order
March 6, 2025 - 11:08
In a significant move that could reshape the landscape of American education, former President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order on Thursday aimed at dismantling the Department of Education. White House officials have confirmed that this action is part of a broader agenda to reduce federal oversight in education and empower states and localities in managing their educational systems.
The decision has sparked a wave of reactions across the political spectrum. Supporters argue that eliminating the Department will allow for more localized control and innovation in education, while critics warn that it could lead to a lack of standards and resources for schools nationwide.
This executive order is expected to outline the framework for transitioning responsibilities currently held by the federal agency to state governments. As the nation grapples with ongoing debates about educational policy, this move marks a pivotal moment in the conversation about the future of education in America.
