As President-elect Donald Trump assembles his transition team and appoints members to his Cabinet, there are growing rumors that he plans to eliminate the federal Department of Education.
If Trump did get rid of the Education Department, how would it happen and what would change?
The Department of Education was formed in 1980 under President Jimmy Carter. It’s in charge of collecting data for American schools, establishing federal policies, distributing federal funds and administering federal student loans and financial aid.
Trump has long vowed to eliminate the department. During his first term, he proposed merging the Education and Labor departments. However, the plan never got off the ground and the departments remain separate. #Politics #News #Trump #Education
