How much will the American education system change if Donald Trump becomes president? Understand here in 3 points

US Presidential Election 2024: Preparations for the presidential elections in America have intensified. Donald Trump is in the fray from the Republican Party for the elections to be held on November 5, while the Democratic Party has made Kamala Harris its candidate. At present there is a tough competition between the two. No matter what the election results are, major changes are expected in areas like American politics and education.
Trump has continuously cornered Kamala Harris on issues ranging from unemployment to rising inflation. However, in the meantime the biggest question remains that if Donald Trump wins this election and becomes the President of the country for the second time, then what is going to happen to the education system? What kind of changes can be seen in this? Trump has also given statements many times regarding the country’s education system. Let us know what changes can be seen in the American education system if Trump becomes President.

closure of education department

Donald Trump has advocated closing the US Education Department. he/she says that the right to education should be handed back to the states. Trump has said that the American education system is much worse than the developed countries of the world. he/she says that if states are given authority over education then it can be managed in a better way. In such a situation, it is expected that if Trump becomes President again, he/she can again hand over the matters of education to the states.

student loan waiver

President Joe Biden has waived off the loans of millions of students during his/her tenure. Kamala Harris plans to do the same. Biden had prepared to waive off the loans of 4 crore people, but then the Supreme Court put a stop to it. Donald Trump supported the Supreme Court’s decision. he/she said that this is injustice to lakhs of people who have paid off the loan with hard work. In such a situation, if Trump wins the presidential election, then there is no hope of getting relief for millions of students taking student loans.

Racial theory, gender and transgender studies

In America, people have very mixed opinions on issues like race, gender and transgender. A section of parents want that children should be taught about this in schools. But there are also people who say that this should not be a part of the school subject. Donald Trump has said that his/her administration will dismantle what he/she calls ‘critical race theory’. If Trump wins, he/she could cut government funding for schools that teach critical race theory.

When it comes to teaching about sexuality and gender, Trump appears to take a conservative stance. Although he/she hasn’t specified what age students should be taught about these things, he/she has promised to cut government funding to schools that promote ‘transgender madness’ . If Trump wins, it is expected that transgender women will not be able to participate in women’s sports.
