President-elect Donald Trump criticized the Department of Education as being infiltrated by "radicals, zealots and Marxists" and aims to either dismantle it or drastically reform its functions.
Trump intends to cut federal funds for educational institutions promoting perceived inappropriate ideologies and wants to incentivize states that support school choice and strip tenure from teachers.
The Education Department oversees a massive $1.5 trillion in student loans and financial aid, primarily through programs like Pell Grants, affecting over 40 million borrowers.
Despite federal funding constituting only around 14% of public school budgets, Trump's educational policies could significantly impact how states and colleges operate and distribute resources.
