华盛顿，3月19日（路透社） – 特朗普政府周四表示，教育部正将其部分学生贷款组合移交给财政部，这是政府推进解散教育部的努力之一。
唐纳德·特朗普总统在2024年竞选活动中承诺解散教育部，这是保守派试图缩小联邦政府在教育领域作用、转而加强州政府控制权的一部分。

去年年底，教育部宣布与另外四个联邦部门——劳工部、国务院、内政部和卫生与公众服务部——建立新的合作伙伴关系，以共享或转移其部分职能。
周四，教育部和财政部宣布了一项跨部门协议，根据该协议，财政部将负责收取违约的联邦学生贷款债务。
联合声明称：“在后续阶段，财政部将在法律允许的范围内，尽可能为非违约联邦学生贷款债务提供运营支持，同时也将寻求为联邦学生援助项目（FSA）的其他职能提供运营支持的机会。”
目前，教育部表示学生贷款组合规模接近1.7万亿美元，还款的借款人不到40%，违约的借款人几乎占25%。
国会于1979年创建教育部，其主要职责包括管理大学贷款、跟踪学生成绩以及在学校执行民权法律。该部门还为贫困儿童比例高的学区提供联邦资金，并协助残疾学生。
尽管特朗普政府需要国会通过法案才能正式废除教育部，但教育部长琳达·麦卡锡去年宣布计划裁撤数百名员工，称这是该部门的“最终使命”。

Trump administration moving federal student loan management to Treasury Department
March 19, 2026 9:52 PM UTC / Reuters
WASHINGTON, March 19 (Reuters) – The Trump administration said on Thursday the Department of Education was handing off a portion of its student loan portfolio to the Treasury Department, as the government advances its attempts to dismantle the Education Department.
President Donald Trump promised during his 2024 election campaign to dismantle the Education Department as part of a conservative bid to shrink the federal government’s role in education in favor of more control by the states.

Late last year, the Education Department announced new partnerships with four other federal departments – Labor, State, Interior and Health and Human Services – to share or transfer some of the functions it performed.
On Thursday, the Education and Treasury Departments announced an interagency agreement under which Treasury will assume responsibility for collecting on defaulted federal student loan debt.
“In subsequent phases, Treasury will work to provide operational support over non-defaulted federal student loan debt, to the extent practicable and permitted by law, while also seeking opportunities to provide operational support to FSA’s other functions,” the joint statement said, referring to Federal Student Aid.
Currently, the Education Department says the student loan portfolio stands at nearly $1.7 trillion, with less than 40% of borrowers in repayment and almost 25% of borrowers in default.
Created by Congress in 1979, the Department of Education’s main roles were administering college loans, tracking student achievement and enforcing civil rights in schools. It also gave federal funding to help districts with a high percentage of needy children and to assist students with disabilities.
Even though the Trump administration needs an act of Congress to formally eliminate the department, Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced plans last year to terminate hundreds of employees as part of what it said was the department’s “final mission.”
