Donald Trump's education plan emphasizes a dramatic shift toward parental control, career-focused curricula, and a return to traditional values, aiming to reshape the American education system. Central to his vision is empowering parents and local authorities to play a direct role in shaping schools, including hiring and firing decisions for teachers and principals.
The plan criticizes the federal Department of Education's role and suggests that eliminating it would give local communities greater autonomy over educational standards and priorities. This approach appeals to parents who feel sidelined in their children’s schooling and seeks to address frustrations about academic quality, discipline, and political influence in classrooms.
Another prominent feature of Trump’s proposal is a focus on patriotism, character-building, and preparing students for the workforce. He emphasizes returning to "core" subjects like reading, writing, and math, alongside instilling respect for the country, which he sees as a counterbalance to what he describes as anti-American sentiment in schools.
Trump’s plan also includes a push for school prayer, which would signal a strong alignment with traditional, faith-based values. His vision for safe, secure, and drug-free environments is accompanied by strict disciplinary measures, advocating for the expulsion of students who harm peers or teachers. This strict approach aims to foster environments where learning and respect are prioritized, theoretically addressing behavioral issues that many parents and teachers cite as barriers to educational success.
