With a value of 25 thousand dollars .. The US Department of Education submitted to its employees an incentive to resign

The US Department of Education provided an incentive of $ 25,000 to a majority of its employees for resignation or retirement by Monday evening, before expected discounts in the workforce.

In an email at the ministry level, the employees of the Ministry of Education offered a sum of one time as an incentive for voluntary resignation, with a maximum date set at 11:59 pm on Monday to accept or reject the offer.

A spokesman for the US Department of Education said in a statement to “Fox News”: “We can confirm that the Ministry of Education has sent an email to its employees today, who were offered an amount of $ 25,000 as a motivational payment for voluntary separation (VSIP) starting today.”

“This is one time offer before a very large reduction in the workforce of the Ministry of Education,” said Jacqueline Clay, head of the human capital department, explaining that the amount paid will be “equivalent to the amount of service termination or $ 25,000, whichever is less.”

The report stated that most of the Ministry’s employees are qualified to obtain this offer, with some exceptions. The excluded from the show includes any person who uses deficit retirement, and those who received the advantages of paying a student loan in the last 36 months, or have obtained a retaining reward in the last 12 months.

The Ministry’s offer came on the same day that the appointment of Linda McMann is to be confirmed to the position of Minister of Education, by the Senate.

According to the report of the newspaper “The Hill”, dozens of employees are already on an administrative leave while the Trump administration is moving to close the ministry completely.

President Donald Trump said he wanted to cancel the Ministry of Education, describing it as a “trick” that failed to teach American students properly.

“The best countries in the world have been classified,” Trump said. We are forty, but we are ranked first in one section: the cost for each student. Therefore, we spend more for every student than any other country in the world, but we are ranked forty. ”

While the complete cancellation of the Ministry of Education requires a decision of Congress, the agency is already reducing in other ways, as nearly one billion dollars have been canceled.

Last February, the ministry confirmed the cancellation of nearly $ 350 million of “conscious” spending, and 10 decades with regional education laboratories (ReL) were canceled, with a total of 336 million dollars, after the contract review revealed “anxious and ideological spending that is not in the interest of students and taxpayers.”

It was not yet clear whether the discounts are linked to the government’s efficiency department, which has reduced the activities of the Ministry of Education related to diversity, fairness and inclusion (Dei). (Russia today)
