US President Donald Trump today signed an executive act that begins the process of dismantling the Department of Education, an important step that fulfills one of his key campaign promises.
The decision to disband this institution has sparked widespread reactions from both sides of the political spectrum, with supporters hailing it as a measure to reduce government interference and critics warning of negative impacts on the country's education system.
The signing ceremony was held in a symbolic atmosphere at the White House, where the president was surrounded by young children, seated at school desks specially set up for the occasion. These children, who represented the next generation of students, participated in a staged moment where they also signed letters in a folder, imitating the president's action, writes cnn.
After completing their signatures, the children were seen holding up their documents with smiles and enthusiasm, mirroring Trump's gesture. The scene was met with applause from the audience, as the president said the act was a step toward returning control of education to local communities and parents.
"We are giving the power to parents and local schools to decide on the education of our children," Trump said after the signing, adding that "the Department of Education has for too long been a distant institution and incapable of addressing the real needs of students."
Meanwhile, opponents of the decision argue that dismantling the Department of Education could have serious consequences, including reduced support for public schools and reduced oversight of educational standards. Many lawmakers and advocacy groups have called for a review of the act, emphasizing the importance of a strong and equitable education system for all American children.
Despite the controversy, Trump's decision marks an important moment in United States education policy, reflecting his administration's vision for a smaller and less intrusive government. /Telegraph/
