The Department of Education (DOE), established by Congress in 1979, is responsible for ensuring equal access to education and supporting educational institutions. With seven primary objectives, the DOE promotes improvements and accountability within federal education programs. These responsibilities include overseeing special education programs in compliance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. President Trump has expressed intentions to abolish the DOE, echoing a historical effort by Reagan in the 1980s. This move would require Congressional approval, highlighting the department's pivotal role in the U.S. education system and its support for special needs education through Individual Education Programs and civil rights oversight.
The DOE serves to ensure equal educational opportunity, support educational institutions, improve education through research, and manage federal education activities effectively.
The Department of Education is instrumental in children's education, especially in ensuring special needs students receive proper educational support through federal programs.
