In a significant move, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order initiating the process of dismantling the Department of Education.
Trump stated that while key initiatives such as Pell Grants and Title I funding — which support children with disabilities — would remain intact and be reassigned to other agencies, the department itself had not delivered on its promise of educational improvement despite decades of rising federal spending.
Highlighting the department’s track record, Trump argued that the Department of Education has failed to significantly uplift the quality of American education.
