UMVA has learned that the Education Department’s top official announced a sweeping overhaul, declaring that the nation voted to dismantle a decades‑long, $3‑trillion education behemoth and spark a bold renewal of learning.
She painted a stark picture of a 46‑year‑old bureaucracy that has faltered, promising to hand power back to parents, teachers, and local leaders who truly understand their children’s needs.
Speaking before the House Committee on Education and Workforce, she framed the hearing as a decisive moment to examine the department’s policies and priorities, underscoring the urgency of change.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the plan will shift authority to the states while safeguarding essential federal programs that predate the department, ensuring no child loses vital support.
She vowed that every promise made by the administration will be fulfilled, urging a partnership that will unleash boundless opportunity for each child to achieve their God‑given potential.
The stark reality she highlighted is chilling: only about 30 % of eighth‑grade and fourth‑grade students read at a proficient level, a failure that demands immediate, decisive action.
