President Donald Trump and his administration is alleged Given the issuance of executive actions or orders that would effectively Turn off the education department. Although he cannot close the Agency without the approval of the Congress, it does not mean that his actions cannot have a big impact.
Trump and members of his administration, especially elon musk The head of the Government Efficiency Department, which was allegedly made by the Executive Order that recognizes only Congress can exclude DOE, but still refers to start itself to start itself, Toward Washington Post.
Key functions of the department, such as giving a grant for low-income students, providing guidelines for service students with disabilities, implementing the Law on Civil Rights and Federal Student Loans are codified in the Law that establishes DOE.
Two of the most important DEE functions – ensuring $ 15.6 billion with lower income and $ 15 billion to assist with disabled students – are protected by the Statute.
While DOE provides funds for public schools, it makes up less than 10 percent of the funding of the Public School of Nation.

Move the function of functions on other departments

“Efficient exclusion of the education department through the executive order or mass filling is a prescription for chaos that will disrupt students across the country,” said Aaron Ament, a former Obama’s Administration officer, said Post.
“Attempt to do so without congress is not only short-tempered, but illegal and unconstitutional,” he said, “Aent said.
Reduce spending
At least some doge passfor have obtained access to the UNE’s internal systems, including some associated with federal student assistance programs, Toward Post. This could enable the organization to propose Trump that could lead to issuance of several executive orders that reduced the spending back.
Executive orders aimed at decreasing the school elections also call for redistribution of federal consumption that could mean that the government provides less funds for DOE.
Each action Trump relates a significant reduction in DOE likely to be met with legal challenges, such as its previous executive orders that offered changes in worries.
