Trump’s Overhaul of the Department of Education: Addressing Alarming Academic Results
The recent discussion surrounding former President Donald Trump's plans for a significant transformation of the U.S. Department of Education has sparked considerable interest, particularly in light of pressing educational statistics showing steep declines in academic performance. Alarmingly, recent assessments reveal that 40% of fourth graders and 33% of eighth graders are reading below the basic level, and only 28% of eighth graders are proficient in mathematics. These numbers have led to rising frustrations among educators and parents alike, prompting calls for action and reform.
