                             The Crisis in Education!!                    Certainly, education  is the main factor behind successful people and the merit of developed  countries. It is deemed a real success behind any future success. In agreement with Diogenes Laertius,  who quoted: “The foundation of every state is the education of its youth’’ (Ezeoke, 2011, p. 66),  education is an essential tool, but only significant learning and effective teachers can shape education  in the best way to build positive citizenship and inspire future generations and, therefore, design  society.     Unfortunately, education is in crisis today!!   There are many challenges facing education,  and the response to these challenges will determine whether mankind advances or destroys itself on  this planet, leaving this planet to those few living things that can survive atomic destruction and  radioactivity!!  Actually, the crisis is represented by the following questions: Can education free itself from the
