Trump had said last week he would like to close the Department of Education using an executive order but acknowledged he would need buy-ins from Congress and teachers’ unions to fulfill his campaign pledge to do so.
Trump has spent his first weeks in office pushing through massive changes to the U.S. government, demanding federal employees come back to work in offices or quit, seeking cost and job cuts and trying to shut down agencies such as the U.S. Agency for International Development.
“I’d like it to be closed immediately,“ Trump told reporters on Wednesday. “The Department of Education’s a big con job.”
Trump proposed shuttering the Education Department in his first term from 2017-2021 but Congress did not act. The agency employs 4,245 and spent $251 billion in the most recent year.
Conservative thinktanks that have called for abolishing the Education Department have proposed that other agencies could handle its aid programs and oversight duties.
