Trump’s Last Minute Decision: Ministry of Education Shut Down
President Trump Makes Historic Move to Abolish US Department of Education
In a groundbreaking step for US public opinion, President Trump signed a presidential decree at the White House ceremony to abolish the Department of Education, which was established in 1980.
Trump stated that the decision to eliminate the Ministry of Education marks a 45-year historical milestone. He emphasized that both Republicans and many Democrats support this move.
The President argued that a federal ministry in education is unnecessary, declaring, “We will now return the administration of education to where it belongs, which is the states.”
Trump acknowledged that the United States is lagging behind in the field of education despite spending more money than other countries. He highlighted the importance of state administrations in education and emphasized the need for improvement in this area.
“We will take all necessary legal steps to close the Ministry of Education, while ensuring the protection of programs for children with disabilities,” Trump reassured.
White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the closure of the Ministry of Education will be implemented gradually, and that Congress will be involved in the necessary legal processes.
This decision by President Trump is expected to have a significant impact on education policies and programs in the United States, as the responsibility for education administration shifts back to the states.
