Towards the permanent closure of the Department of Education:
“I want to close up Department of Education, move education back to the states,” Trump said in August of 2024."
Now President Trump is carrying out the change.
When Trump first took office in his previous term, the Department of Education’s workforce numbered 4,133 employees. That number will now shrink to around 2,183 workers. It’s a significant step toward his goal of returning education authority to state and local control.
