On March 20, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to formally begin the process of dismantling the Department of Education. However, a number of U.S. media, including CBS and The Wall Street Journal, believe that Trump's statement about "dismantling the Department of Education" is a rhetorical exaggeration, and the current law does not allow the president to unilaterally shut down the agency established by Congress. The White House also says that the Department of Education will not completely shut down for now in order to preserve some key programs related to financial aid.

What are the differences between Chinese and the U.S. education? One U.S. netizen said she took out $125,000 in loans to cover her master's degree and is planning a 20-year repayment plan. Many Chinese netizens were surprised and told her that it usually takes less than a year to pay off an entire year's tuition in China, which shocked her.
