The Trump administration has begun drafting an executive order that would kick off the process of eliminating the Department of Education, the latest move by US President Donald Trump to swiftly carry out his campaign promises, two sources familiar with the plans have told a US media house.
Sources said the move would come in two parts.
The order would direct the secretary of Education to create a plan to diminish the department through executive action.
Mr. Trump would also push for Congress to pass legislation to end the department, as those working on the order acknowledge that shuttering the department would require Congress' involvement.
