Trump Administration Shifts Education Programs

The Trump administration plans to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, transferring its responsibilities to other agencies. This move, following an executive order, aims to reduce federal bureaucracy. The department, established in 1979, manages a vast student loan portfolio, provides funding for low-income students, and enforces civil rights in schools. The administrations strategy may bypass Congress authority, leaving behind a hollowed-out department. This shift marks a significant change in federal education program management, with potential impacts on students and institutions nationwide.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
