A draft executive order is set to be signed soon that calls for the dissolution of the U.S. Department of Education, as sources indicate that Trump is preparing to take definitive action to eliminate the agency. This move has raised significant concerns regarding the potential impacts on student loans and federal education funding. Many educators and stakeholders warn that dismantling the department could have devastating effects, particularly for vulnerable student populations. Polls show that over half of Americans oppose the plan, highlighting a significant divide on this issue. As discussions continue, experts are urging borrowers to protect themselves and are exploring the implications for education systems across the country.
