Trump says he wants Education Department to be closed immediately

President Donald Trump is preparing to eliminate the Department of Education, indicating he would like it to be closed immediately during a press conference.
Trump's Executive Orders aim to reduce staff and key functions of the Department; however, it cannot be abolished without Congressional approval.
If funding sources like Title I-A were eliminated, it would lead to significant job losses, impacting over 180,000 teachers and affecting 2.8 million vulnerable students, according to the Center for American Progress.
Legal challenges against Trump's actions have already begun, and Congress is unlikely to support a bill to abolish the Department altogether.
