President-elect Donald Trump plans to abolish the Department of Education, transferring its responsibilities to state governments and other federal agencies. This move would significantly alter the landscape of American education, impacting funding, civil rights, and parental choice.
President-elect Donald Trump has promised sweeping changes to several government departments, and the Department of Education could be the site of some of the most radical changes to come.Established as a Cabinet-level federal agency in 1979 by President Jimmy Carter, its existence has faced some opposition, but it has never come close to being closed down—something Trump has pledged to do.
One proposal, outlined in Project 2025—an unofficial conservative blueprint published by the Heritage Foundation that Trump has sought to distance himself from—is to transfer Title I, which supplements state and local funding and is allocated based on the number of students from low-income families, to the Department of Health and Human Services, with the eventual view to grant responsibility for Title I funding to the states over 10 years.
