Summary: With a smile on his face, Trump signed the order to eliminate the Department of Education in the US.

Donald Trump signed an order to eliminate the US Department of Education, as he believes that education should be left to the states.

This aligns with Trump's belief that the federal government should have less involvement in the education system. His move garnered many reactions, with proponents describing it as a push for state autonomy and critics warning of future educational instability.

According to Trump, state governments and local communities should be responsible for shaping education policies without the interference from federal. It may take years to process the order since Congress must approve the department's full liquidation.

Analysts warn that the closure may lead to funding uncertainties, curriculum disparities, and potential setbacks for national programs. However, Trump’s backers insist that removing federal oversight will allow states to develop education strategies tailored to their specific needs.

As the process develops, the choice is anticipated to provoke heated discussions among politicians. We'll provide further updates as things progress.
