President of the USA Donald Trump stated in an interview with Fox News that the U.S. Department of Education and the American education system are the worst in the world. Trump also noted that some positions in the Department of Education could be transferred to the Department of Finance or the Department of Commerce. "We want states to be able to manage schools at the level of the best educational systems in the world," he added. He also stated: "We want to return schools to the states because we have by far the worst Department of Education and educational system in the world. We are at the bottom of the list, but we rank first in spending per student, and this benefits no one."
