president Donald Trump It is applied with plans to cancel the Ministry of Education.
Trump is expected to sign an executive order to follow up in a promise campaign to dissolve the department, claiming the campaign path that the administration was full of “extremists, fanatical and Marxists.”
The White House newspaper states that this step “will deliver education to families instead of bureaucracy.”
This guidance comes after the Senate voted to confirm Linda McMahon, former CEO of the world for entertainment wrestling (WWE), to lead the agency on March 3. McMahon released a note later that day that determines its support for the Trump administration's management plans and that it will supervise a “new era of accountability” in recent days.
“The truth of our educational system is blatant, and the American people have elected President Trump to make major changes in Washington,” McMahon said in the March 3 memo. “Our mission is to respect the will of the American people and the president who chose it, which cost us to achieve the elimination of bureaucratic bloating here in the Ministry of Education – an important final task – quickly and responsibility.”

After reports that Trump plans to sign the executive order, the American Federation of Teachers issued a statement calling for Congress to oppose the executive order and will not “not give up his responsibility for all children, students and working families, who deserve a future full of promise and possibility, not decreasing dreams.”
The Teacher Union referred to the NPR/PBS News/Marist poll conducted in February and which found more than 60 % of Americans “strongly opposes” the agency's elimination.
“The Ministry of Education, and the laws that are supposed to be implemented, have one major purpose: to settle the stadium and fill the gaps of opportunities to help every child in America succeed,” said American teachers Randy Winjutten in a statement in a statement 5 March. – But not all children. “
Despite Trump's order, the president needs Congress to sign the agency, according to Article Two of the United States Constitution. Such a procedure will require 60 votes to pass it in the Senate, and there are only 53 Republicans.
However, there is some appetite in Congress to eliminate the oath. For example, MP Thomas Massi presented R-Ky.

“The bureaucrats are not elected in Washington, DC, responsible for the intellectual and moral development of our children,” Massi said in a statement on January 31. “The states and local communities are the best in setting the curricula that meet the needs of their students. Schools must be responsible.”
Trump told reporters on February 4 that although he nominated McMahon to lead the Ministry of Education, he finally wanted her to lose her job.
“What I want to do is allowing the states to operate schools,” Trump said on February 4.

Trump said in a mass rally in September 2024 that he wanted to reduce “the quagmire of government education and stop the abuse of your taxpayer's taxpayer to rotate American youth with all kinds of things that do not want to hear our youth.”
Critics of the Ministry of Education also referred to the “Nation Report card”, which is the national evaluation of 2024 for educational progress (Naep), which was issued every two years, and published on January 27. The exam tests the fourth and eighth graders in both stagnant stagnant mathematics.

As a result, the United States needs a “full reset” that gives priority to students. She said that this begins with the closure of the Ministry of Education, an agency that focused more on the mandate of diversity, fairness and integration more than the foundations of education.
Meanwhile, Democrats pressed the Ministry of Education to obtain more information about its future in February amid fears that the Trump administration will close the agency.
“We will not summon and allow this country students, parents, borrowers, teachers and societies, in a letter to the Acting Minister of Education, Dennis Carter on February 5,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to the Acting Minister of Education, Dennis Carter on February 5.
