After the announcement of massive dismissal in the Ministry of Education, US President Donald Trump goes one step further: the entire ministry must be closed. On Thursday, the head of state wants to get an order to solve.
As various media reported on Wednesday, the decree must be signed during a ceremony in the White House. According to the ‘Polo’ news portal, various Republican governors will participate in the signing on Thursday.
Half of the ministry employees are released
In the meantime, under the leadership of the Trump Conidant Linda McMahon, the Ministry is still there to implement the personnel movements and medium -sized cancellations that are promoted by the president and his adviser Elon Musk. Trump and Musk want to drastically train budgets and staff of the American federal authorities. A week ago, the Ministry of Education had already announced the dismissal of almost half of its employees.
Abolition of the Ministry of Education announced in the election campaign
In the election campaign, Trump announced that he would abolish the Ministry of Education in the case of his election. The plans of the Republicans offer to decentralize education and to transfer the powers of the Ministry to the individual states.
Traditionally, the US government only has a limited influence on education. Only about 13 percent of funds for primary schools and secondary schools come from federal funds, the rest is funded by the states and local communities. However, the federal funds are existentially important for schools with a low budget and for students with special needs.
