The White House is preparing an executive order to eliminate the Department of Education, fulfilling a longstanding campaign promise from President Donald Trump. Trump has pledged to send education responsibilities back to the states, criticizing the current system for placing the U.S. at the bottom of global education rankings despite significant levels of funding. Last week, Trump signed an order expanding school choice, another key GOP policy priority. The move to eliminate the Department of Education has gained traction within the Republican Party, with other candidates like Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley also voicing support for the idea during their campaigns. Trump has outlined additional education priorities, including cutting federal funding for programs promoting critical race theory, investigating discrimination against Asian Americans, certifying teachers who align with patriotic values, and rooting out radicals within the Department of Education. The executive order to abolish the Education Department is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to reshape education policy in the United States.
