President Trump has signed an executive order aimed at dismantling the U.S. Education Department, fulfilling a long-standing promise to conservative constituents. He criticizes the agency as inefficient and ideologically biased. Although the move aligns with Republican goals, actual dismantling requires Congressional approval. The order instructs the education secretary to facilitate the closure while allowing for specific critical functions to remain, such as funding for low-income schools and federally-backed student loans. Democrats oppose the initiative, and the plan's details about implementation are unclear, raising questions about the future of federal education management.
