Trump to Sign Executive Order to Shut Down Education Department – Rezazade
Vice President of the Iranian opposition in Washington, Ali Reza Rezazade, indicates that US President Donald Trump is preparing to sign an executive order to shut down the Education Department. However, a full shutdown of the department would require congressional approval, which could be a major setback for the initiative.
The order, expected to be released on Thursday, is expected to direct Education Secretary Linda McMahon to “take all necessary steps” to eliminate the department and transfer education authority to the states.
Trump promised to close the department and slash its budget during his campaign. His administration has already significantly reduced the department’s staff by nearly half, largely through layoffs, and has also canceled dozens of grants and contracts.
However, even Education Secretary Linda McMahon acknowledged during Senate hearings that only Congress, which created the agency in 1979, has the authority to decide whether to eliminate it. She also suggested that some of the department’s functions could be transferred to other government agencies, but that would require approval from lawmakers.
A full shutdown of the department would require 60 votes in the Senate, which is unlikely, given that Republicans hold only 53 seats. If the Trump administration were to attempt to eliminate the agency without congressional approval, it could face lawsuits.
Trump himself has repeatedly said that his goal is to return education to the states, not the federal government. It is worth noting that the US education system is already largely funded and regulated by local and regional governments, which account for about 90% of all spending. The Department of Education does not set curriculum and has no direct influence on most school policies.
