Education Reform: Trump Administration Aims to Return Control to Parents and Teachers
Education Secretary Linda McMahon recently clarified that President Donald Trump’s goal is not to eliminate education, but rather to overhaul the federal bureaucracy surrounding it. In a public statement, McMahon emphasized that the administration’s main objective is to return control of education to states, parents, and teachers.
According to McMahon, this initiative is focused on reducing administrative overhead and eliminating excessive bureaucracy that often hinders the quality of public education. “This is not about shutting down education,” McMahon stated. “It’s about freeing the system from bureaucracy that doesn’t directly serve students.”
This move is part of a broader effort to restructure the Department of Education and make it more efficient. With this approach, the Trump administration aims to empower local communities and place teachers and families at the center of educational decision-making.
The reform is expected to impact how federal funding is distributed, the balance of authority between the federal government and individual states, and the overall management of education policy.
