- Reduction of Bureaucracy: Eliminating the Department is seen as a step toward decreasing federal bureaucracy, potentially leading to more efficient use of resources and streamlined educational governance. Northeastern News
- Promotion of School Choice: Some conservatives believe that removing federal oversight could expand school choice options, empowering parents to select educational paths that best suit their children.
