President Donald Trump has been forced to walk back his plans to shut down the Department of Education .

Instead, the president is expected to announce on Thursday that the department will be pared down to handle student loans and Pell grants as well as other “critical functions,” including enforcing some civil rights laws.

The U-turn comes amid concern in the administration that Congress would balk at the plan.
