In a significant policy move, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at downsizing the U.S. Education Department. While critical functions such as managing student loans and Pell grants will be retained, the order signals a substantial reduction in the department's scope and size.
Key Points of the Executive Order:
📌Retention of Essential Functions: Student loans and Pell grant management remain intact.
📌Legal Challenges Anticipated: Various groups are expected to file lawsuits to protect students' rights.
Public opinion appears divided, with polls indicating a majority opposing the elimination of the Education Department. Legal experts anticipate a series of lawsuits challenging the executive order in the coming weeks.
