President Donald Trump has announced plans to transfer the management of education from the federal level to the states, emphasizing that this move will allow local leaders to take control from Washington bureaucrats. Trump made these remarks during a meeting with the Prime Minister of Ireland, highlighting his intention to decentralize education. Trump criticized the Department of Education, stating that it has many employees who are not performing their jobs effectively and some who are not showing up to work at all. He pointed out that the U.S. ranks between number 37 and 40 in educational outcomes despite being number one in cost per pupil, suggesting that the current system is not working. In response to questions about the responsibility towards civil servants affected by these changes, Trump expressed sympathy but reiterated his stance that many of the department's employees are not working. He described this shift as part of a broader 'dream' to improve education.
