A government shutdown in October 2025 enables Trump to push cuts to the Department of Education, including layoffs and program eliminations, sparking debate over federal education role.
A prolonged government shutdown in October 2025 is accelerating President Trump’s push to dismantle the Department of Education, with the administration planning to lay off 465 employees, including staff overseeing special education and civil rights, and cutting key programs.
The moves, enabled by halted operations, target offices managing billions in federal grants, though a federal judge temporarily blocked the layoffs.
Critics say the administration is exploiting the shutdown to weaken the department and advance conservative priorities like school choice and reduced federal oversight, while supporters argue it enables needed reforms.
The long-term impact on education funding and student protections remains uncertain.
