Linda McMahon, confirmed as Education Secretary, outlined her vision to transform the Department of Education, aiming to empower parents and reduce bureaucracy. Her goals include emphasizing essential subjects over 'divisive' programs and enhancing school choice through private vouchers. Reflecting President Trump's agenda, McMahon seeks to transfer oversight to states, advocating for local control in educational decisions and focusing on workforce demands in higher education.
"Removing red tape and bureaucratic barriers will empower parents to make the best educational choices for their children," McMahon said. "An effective transfer of educational oversight to the states will mean more autonomy for local communities."
McMahon highlighted three goals on which to center the Department of Education's restructuring: ensure parents are the "primary decision makers" in their kids' education, focus public education on math, reading, science, and history, and establish postsecondary education as a path to well-paying careers.
