President Trump calls for closing the Education Department, citing high costs and low global rankings.

President Trump called for the immediate closure of the Education Department, terming it a "big con job." He criticized high spending and the US's 40th global ranking in education. The department, employing 4,245 people and spending $251 billion, provides crucial aid to students and college tuition assistance. Closing it requires Congressional approval and could disrupt federal education funding. Trump also ordered budget cuts and reforms, including the removal of federal funding for schools teaching critical race theory.
