Trump signed an order to shift the current educational department of the US to the States.

Executive order shakes up education system:

Donald Trump signed an executive order to reduce federal control over education. The order aims to give states full authority over school policies, keeping a key campaign promise. While this move excites conservatives, it raises concerns among education advocates.

Major changes in the education department:

After taking the oath, Trump announced the dismantling of the US educational department. Trump wants to restructure the government and reduce federal influence on the department, so he has focused on shrinking federal agencies and shifting power to state governments.

A move supported by conservatives:

The executive order was signed at the White House in front of students, teachers, parents, and state governors who backed the plan. This event highlighted the strong support from Trump’s base and the “Make America Great Again” movement. Many Republicans believe states should control education without federal interference.

Challenges in closing the education department:

Trump wants Linda McMahon to leave her position in the educational sector and wants congressional approval to completely shut down the sector. Despite Republican control of Congress, the Senate would need Democratic support to pass such a measure. The bill would require 60 votes to make the educational department successful.
