President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to reintroduce prayer in schools and eliminate the Department of Education as part of a broader educational reform. He argues that restoring prayer will revive traditional values and strengthen the nation’s moral foundation. Additionally, he believes the Department of Education has failed to improve educational outcomes and should be replaced with a system that returns control to state and local governments.

The proposed changes would affect public schools nationwide. The closure of the Department of Education would shift its responsibilities to other federal agencies and state governments. Trump’s plan also includes policies to promote school choice and reinforce parental rights in education.
To implement prayer in schools, adjustments to existing laws and regulations would be necessary, ensuring that prayer is voluntary. Trump made this announcement during his 2024 presidential campaign, with specific actions expected after his inauguration in January 2025.
