President of America, Mr. Donald Trump emphasised the importance of educational system in nation building. In his words, "A great country demands a great education system—one that prepares our children to lead, innovates, and secures a stronger future for America..." Mr, President gave a motivational message that his administration is committed to building an education system that empowers American students and families, prioritizes choice, and always pursues the good, the true, and the beautiful. His statement on education came out as part of American Education Week.
Since 1979 the year in which the Department of Education was created, it has spent over $3 trillion on “education” with virtually nothing to show for it. He siad ".... instead of building a more literate country, seven out of ten eighth graders today cannot read proficiently...." and said "Instead of building a better education system, unaccountable bureaucrats dictated what children learn, which left our students further behind than ever before."
Schools designed for teaching became burdened by regulations and paperwork, and classrooms designed for discovery became laboratories for deranged social experiments, socialist political agendas, and divisive ideologies. He said that the above-mentioned national disgrace ended when he came into power on 20 January 2025 for his second as US President.
By dismantling the Department of Education, his Administration has placed the control of education to States, local communities, and parents by saying they are best equipped to meet the needs of their students. His Administration was also providing every available opportunity for parents to enrich the education of their children through individual choice. He said "....we are rooting out the poisonous influence of gender ideology, Critical Race Theory, and the hollow dogmas of so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion from the halls of our educational institutions and in their place, we are restoring truth, merit, and patriotism..."
Further he said "....as we fix failures of the past, we are also looking forward to the future.." His statement reveals that the USA is advancing artificial intelligence (AI) education for America’s youth and educators. Through the Nationwide Presidential AI Challenge, US students and teachers will cultivate the skills and understanding necessary to use and create the next generation of technology. Leading American businesses groups, non-profits organisations, and educational institutions have stepped up to help Nation win the AI race, committing billions of dollars of investment in AI education programs to lead the country forward.
America’s Golden Age begins in the classroom, and by restoring the greatest education system in the world, we are building a stronger future for our culture, our children, and our beloved country.
