President Donald Trump announced Friday that several of the Department of Education’s (ED) duties are being transferred to other agencies.
Student loans will now be handled by the Small Business Administration (SBA) “immediately,” while special needs and nutrition programs will be moved to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the president said at a press event Friday. The redistribution comes after Trump signed an executive order Thursday to begin the dismantling of ED.
“I think that will work out very well,” Trump said. “Those two elements will be taken out of the Department of Education.”
