“In the total US society, more than $ 1 trillion pours a year in public education systems, but instead of being at the top of the list, we literally have pretty smack – guess what – at the bottom,” Trump said earlier in the video.

Last week, Trump signed another educational -related order to expand the school choice and instructed the education department to issue guidance to states within 60 days on how to use federal funds to increase school choice programs in their states.

School choice has long been a cornerstone of the GOP agenda, with a significant number of Republican-led states that free up more funding in recent years for low-income families to send their students to private or charter schools.

In recent years, “Cleaning of” or fully abolishing the Federal Ministry of Education has also become a leading Republican policy.

In the Republican presidential primer, tech entrepreneurialed Vivek Ramaswamy urged the Department of Education while on the campaign track in Pennsylvania in 2023. And former UN Amb. Nikki Haley said she would “cleanse the Ministry of Education” if elected during a 2023 campaign in New Hampshire.
