Trump to dramatically downsize education department at White House event – live

From 5h ago 11.58 EDT Education department 'will be much smaller' under Trump order, but continue some functions, White House says The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt told reporters that the Department of Education will be dramatically downsized by the executive order Donald Trump will sign today, but continue administering student loans and Pell grants, as well as enforcing some civil rights laws. Abolishing the department, as Trump and his conservative allies say they want to do, will require an act of Congress. Its unclear if the president will push for that, or if there are the votes to make it happen. “The Department of Education will be much smaller than it is today,” Leavitt said. “When it comes to student loans and Pell grants, those will still be run out of the Department of Education. But we don’t need to be spending more than $3tn over the course of a few decades on a department that’s clearly failing in its initial intention to educate our students.” She added that “any critical functions of the department … will remain”, such as enforcing laws against discrimination and providing funding for low-income students and special education.
