United States President Donald Trump has signed an executive order directing officials to begin dismantling the Department of Education.
Trump described the move as necessary to cut costs and raise educational standards in the U.S., claiming they lag behind those of Europe and China.
He stated that, despite spending more on education than any other country, U.S. students "rank near the bottom of the list in terms of success."
