Trump orders Education Department to shift key responsibilities out of agency

The Education Department has announced four new agreements to share significant responsibilities with other federal agencies, marking a continued push to reduce its central role, in line with President Trump's earlier order to decentralize control back to the states. This move signifies a broader trend of restructuring the department's functions, which has implications for federal education policy and state-level governance. It's part of a larger strategy to shift federal authority, reflecting ongoing debates about the appropriate scope of federal versus state control in education.
