Trump's expected Education Department order looks to fulfill a campaign promise but raises questions for students and parents

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. t-raises-questions-for-students-and-parents.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Thursday, March 20th 2025 at 15:00 GMT by CNN}

President Donald Trump's order to begin dismantling the US Department of Education, which he's scheduled to sign Thursday, fulfills decades of conservative ambition to get rid of the agency, even as it raises new questions for the country's millions of public schools,

The article discusses former President Donald Trump's expected executive order aimed at transforming the U.S. Department of Education, fulfilling a campaign promise to reduce federal involvement in education. This order would initiate a process to potentially dismantle the Department of Education, shifting responsibilities to states and local governments. Critics argue this could lead to significant disruptions in educational services, funding, and support for students, particularly those with disabilities or from low-income families. The move raises concerns about the future of federal education programs like Title I, special education, and student loans, potentially affecting millions of students and parents by altering the educational landscape significantly. The proposal has sparked a debate on the role of federal versus state control in education, with implications for educational equity and access.
