Trump Set to Sign Executive Order Aiming to Dissolve Department of Education
March 20, 2025 - 16:50
President Donald Trump is poised to sign an executive order that will instruct the education secretary to disband the Department of Education, shifting control back to individual states. This significant move is anticipated to take place on Thursday, reflecting the administration's ongoing efforts to decentralize federal authority in education.
The order seeks to empower states to take charge of their educational policies, allowing them to tailor their approaches to better meet the needs of their local communities. Proponents of the initiative argue that localized control can lead to more effective educational outcomes, while opponents express concerns about the potential for increased disparities in educational quality across the country.
As the nation continues to navigate complex educational challenges, this executive order could reshape the landscape of education in America. The implications of this decision are likely to resonate throughout the education system, prompting discussions on the balance of power between federal and state authorities in shaping educational policy.
