U.S. President Donald Trump moved to eliminate the Department of Education. But he can’t shutter the agency without congressional legislation, and his administration is already facing legal challenges.
The Department of Education is a cabinet-level agency created by Jimmy Carter in 1979 to oversee national education policy and administer federal assistance programs for schools across the country.
The department manages a budget of approximately $268bn and employs about 4,400 staff members.
