President Donald Trump is set to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, a long-standing conservative goal that shifts education oversight back to the states. The move, backed by sweeping budget cuts and policy rollbacks, faces both political support and legal hurdles.
President Donald Trump is expected to sign a long-anticipated executive order on Thursday, officially initiating the closure of the U.S. Department of Education. The directive follows weeks of significant staff and budget reductions within the agency, marking a major shift in federal education policy.
