Deep dives
Dismantling of the Department of Education
The executive order to dismantle the Department of Education has sparked significant debate about its implications on the education system. Critics point out that despite increased spending over the years—rising from nearly $7,429 per student in 1980 to about $13,820 in 2021—educational outcomes have remained stagnant. This indicates a systemic issue where spending more does not equate to better education, as evidenced by the low proficiency rates in reading and math among students. The focus is now shifting not just on what to eliminate, but on how to effectively replace the current system to ensure actual improvement in educational quality.
