Trump's Plan to Eliminate Department of Education: Impact and Feasibility

Donald Trump has expressed intentions to close the Department of Education (DOE) and return educational control to the states, but achieving this would require an act of Congress, which is unlikely due to the need for bipartisan support. Even without closing the DOE, a Trump administration could still significantly impact education by reducing the department's influence, appointing officials with limited expertise, and altering higher education practices. Critics argue that dismantling the DOE could harm vulnerable students and fail to achieve Trump's stated goals.
