Former Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has expressed strong concerns regarding the current state of the Department of Education, describing its results as "dismal." In a recent appearance on "America Reports," DeVos discussed the implications of the department's performance and whether it should continue to exist in its current form.
DeVos highlighted a range of issues that she believes have contributed to the department's failures, emphasizing the need for significant reform in the educational system. She argued that the existing structure is not effectively serving students or parents and called for a reevaluation of the department's role in education.
The former secretary's remarks come amid ongoing debates about the effectiveness of federal involvement in education. DeVos, a proponent of school choice and alternative education models, suggests that a shift away from traditional federal oversight could lead to improved outcomes for students across the nation. Her comments have reignited discussions about the future of education policy in the United States.
