If you want to know what the department does, just look at its budget: https://www2.ed.gov/about/overview/budget/budget17/17action....

Eliminating the department doesn't necessarily mean eliminating all of its current functions. It just means that it will not exist in the same tier of government, with a cabinet member at its head.

I don't see any proposals for other departments picking up the slack though...
