Trump Proposes Closing Department of Education as Part of Project 2025
Aug 13, 2024, 01:44 AM
Former President Donald Trump announced his intention to close the U.S. Department of Education and transfer educational responsibilities back to individual states. In a conversation with Elon Musk, Trump cited states like Iowa and Idaho as examples of successful state-led education systems. He argued that the U.S. ranks poorly in education despite high spending per pupil and believes that decentralizing education could improve outcomes. Trump expressed confidence that 35 out of 50 states would perform well under this model. This proposal is part of Trump's broader Project 2025 initiative.
