Washington, D.C. – President Donald J. Trump has signed an executive order to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, marking a historic move aimed at shifting control of education from the federal government to states, local communities, and parents.
“Closing the Department of Education would provide children and their families the opportunity to escape a system that is failing them,” President Trump stated while announcing the decision at the White House.
The executive order is part of Trump’s broader agenda to reduce federal oversight in education and empower local authorities to implement policies that best suit their communities. The move aligns with conservative calls for school choice, curriculum reforms, and parental rights in education.
The closure process is expected to take time, as it requires legislative approval from Congress. However, Trump’s administration has signaled its intent to work closely with lawmakers to ensure a smooth transition.
Critics of the decision argue that dissolving the Department of Education could lead to disparities in school funding and access to resources, particularly for underprivileged students. However, supporters believe the move will foster innovation and efficiency by eliminating federal bureaucracy and allowing states to tailor education policies to their unique needs.
The executive order signals a major shift in U.S. education policy, reinforcing Trump’s commitment to reshaping the nation’s education system during his second term in office.
