Trump to Sign Executive Order to Begin Dismantling of Education Department

President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order that will make the Department of Education "much smaller than it is today," while keeping critical functions like student loans under federal control, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
The executive order aims to give states control over education, but federal oversight remains for Title I funding, as reported by Leavitt.
The order is just the first step in dismantling the Department of Education and has led to a lawsuit from Democratic state attorneys general due to workforce cuts.
Critics argue that eliminating the department would harm students and create inequality in the education system, as expressed by the National Parents Union.
