Linda Darling-Hammond is president of the California Board of Education since 2019. The Stanford University professor is one of the most influential voices in educational policy in the U.S.

She believes that teaching is now at an inflection point. The students of the new generations need less memorization and more support, she says. Homeschooling is on the rise in the United States, but it is not possible in Spain or other countries, Darling- Hammond says. "We need to move away from the factory school model we inherited from a hundred years ago," she adds.
