Trump Signs Executive Order to Shut Down Department of Education
US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to shut down the Department of Education, citing a significant decline in the quality of education across schools. “The educational standards in schools have dropped drastically, which is why we are taking this step,” Trump stated.
The President criticized the current state of education, pointing out that many students lack basic math skills. “The Department of Education has large buildings but fails to deliver real education,” he added. By deciding to shut down the Department of Education, Trump aims to shift the responsibility of managing schools to individual states.
This move has reportedly been welcomed by state governors, who will now oversee educational matters independently. “States will handle school affairs themselves, and the governors are pleased with this decision,” Trump said.
In addition to this significant change, President Trump highlighted progress on a minerals agreement with Ukraine. “The agreement with Ukraine on minerals will be finalized soon,” he announced. He also revealed that he has signed executive orders to increase domestic mineral production in the United States.
The decision to shut down the Department of Education marks a major shift in the federal government’s role in education, empowering states to take charge of their educational systems.
