United States President Donald Trump
on Thursday (20 Mar ’25)signed an executive order to begin the process of
shutting down the Department of Education."Today we take a very historic action that was
45 years in the making. I will sign an executive order to begin eliminating the
Federal Department of Education once in for all. Democrats know it's right. I
hope they're going to be voting for it because ultimately it may come before
them," Trump said."We have to
get our children educated. We're not doing well with the education in this
country and we haven't for a long time. It's been amazing how popular this has
been- everybody says it- Republicans and Democrats have said it they're all
saying it also with us are some terrific," he added.
Trump claimed that when Former US President Jimmy
Carter created the Department of Education, it was opposed by his cabinet and
the Republicans.
