The White House is preparing an executive order to eliminate the Education Department, two sources familiar with the plans told NBC News. In September 2023, Trump posted a video to social media saying, "One other thing I'll be doing very early in the administration is closing up the Department of Education in Washington, D.C., and sending all education and education work and needs back to the states." Do you agree that all education and education work should be brought back to the states? Yes, the Education Department should be eliminated and everything should go through the states

President Donald Trump cannot unilaterally abolish a federal agency without the approval of Congress. Republicans control the House and the Senate, but any effort to abolish the Education Department would face major obstacles in the Senate, where 60 votes are required to overcome a filibuster and advance to a final vote. Given their narrow majority, Republicans would need Democratic support to do that, which would make it unlikely for such a bill to pass. Do you think he will receive Congressional approval for this? Yes

Becky Pringle, the president of the National Education Association, a major labor group, warned in a statement Tuesday that Trump's coming order would hurt students and families, especially in vulnerable populations. "If it became a reality, Trump's power grab would steal resources for our most vulnerable students, explode class sizes, cut job training programs, make higher education more expensive and out of reach for middle class families, take away special education services for students with disabilities, and gut student civil rights protections," she said. "Americans did not vote for, and do not support, ending the federal government's commitment to ensuring equal educational opportunities for every child." Do you think if the Education Department was eliminated, that it would "hurt students and families" as Becky Pringle mentioned? Yes
