US House Republicans take ‘first step’ toward dismantling Department of Education

US House Republicans have taken a significant step to reshape the Department of Education by advancing a package of bills that align with President Trump's vision to reduce the department's role. The House Committee on Education and Workforce approved these bills, largely along party lines, signaling a potential shift in federal education policy. This move could significantly alter the landscape of federal education oversight, raising questions about the future of federal programs and the extent of state versus federal control in education.
