White House drafting executive order to eliminate Department of Education


The White House is preparing an executive order to eliminate the Department of Education, a move that President Donald Trump has long promised. Trump criticized the federal Education Department, saying it fails to provide quality education despite receiving over $1 trillion annually. The department serves over 50 million students in public and private schools and provides financial assistance to over 12 million postsecondary students. Trump’s proposal to abolish the department was incorporated into the Republican Party platform in 2023.

Opponents of the move, including the president of the National Education Association, warn that dismantling the department would harm students, especially those in vulnerable populations. Republican lawmakers have previously introduced bills to eliminate the Department of Education, but have faced obstacles in gaining enough support to pass such legislation. Trump recently signed an executive order expanding school choice programs, a key priority for Republicans in recent years.

Trump’s agenda for education includes cutting funding for schools promoting “critical race theory,” investigating discrimination against Asian Americans in schools, certifying teachers who uphold patriotic values, and removing “radicals” from the Department of Education. Supporters argue that dismantling the department would empower states to better address their education needs, while opponents fear it would reduce resources for vulnerable students and make education less accessible.
