  By Alexandra Alper, Tim Reid, Marisa Taylor and Nathan Layne (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Education is expected to lay off half its staff, CNN reported, as multiple government agencies scrambled to meet President Donald Trump's Thursday deadline for them to submit plans for a second round of mass layoffs.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's initiative to downsize the federal government, with a particular focus on the Department of Education. Trump has proposed significant budget cuts and a reduction in the department's scope, aiming to return more control to states and local school districts. This move is part of his broader plan to streamline government operations, which he believes will reduce federal overreach and bureaucracy. Critics argue that these cuts could negatively impact educational programs, especially those supporting disadvantaged students. The article also mentions that this proposal reflects Trump's ongoing critique of the federal government's role in education, advocating for a system where education funding and policy are predominantly managed at the state and local levels.
