Donald Trump has an education plan that would obliterate 490,000 teacher jobs, according to the think tank Center for American Progress Action Fund [CAPAF]. His horrendous plan would totally kill off the Department of Education; however, it gets worse.
When the Republican candidate was in Florida earlier this month, he said about the Education Department:
‘There is so much waste.’
But that is not all. He intends to decimate at the Environmental Protection Agency, too. Why? He needs to pay for his “billionaires first” tax plan.
So, what would Trump’s plan do to the Department of Education? According to the CAPAF, eight million low-income students, or the equivalent of New York City’s population, would lose millions in college grants. The nearly half million teaching jobs would disappear; that’s 14 percent of all kindergarten through high school teachers across the country. CAPAF says that killing all those jobs would be the same as:
‘UPS, one of the country’s largest employers, with over 350,000 American workers—going out of business.’
According to the think tank, these would be the actual results of demolishing the Department of Education:

According to the think tank, these would be the actual results of demolishing the Department of Education:
- ‘8 million students every year would lose Pell grants
- 490,000 or more teacher positions could be eliminated $1.3 trillion in student loans would be at risk
- 9 million low-income students would lose $15 billion of Title I funding annually
- 5 million children and students with disabilities would lose $12.7 billion used every year to ensure that they receive a quality education
- 750,000 or more students from military families, Native American students, students living in U.S. territories, and students living on federal property or Native American lands would lose $1.1 billion per year for their school
- 4,000 or more rural school districts would lose more than $175 million used annually to help improve the quality of teaching and learning in many hard-to-staff schools
- $700 million used by states to support the 5 million English language learners currently in public schools—representing close to 10 percent of all students—would be cut.’
