The US Department of Education and American education are the worst in the world, US President Donald Trump said in an interview with Fox News.
He was asked to talk about plans to eliminate the Department of Education. “We want to bring schools back to the States, because we literally have the worst Department of Education and education in general in the world. We are at the bottom of the list, but we are number one in per-student spending. “We want states to be able to run schools that are as good as the best education departments in the world,“ the president stressed.
Trump said that some of the functions of the Department of Education could be transferred to the Treasury Department, the Commerce Department or the Small Business Administration after the agency's expected elimination.
