The decolonization of education or what we refer to as long life education, has transformed and broadened the corresponding initiatives into an intl humanitarian efforts that reaches out to hundreds of Muslim communities in developing countries. To respond properly to such needs, we need to invest in a wide array of educational institutions, at all levels. In doing so, we can also help to bridge the rift between the western type of education and the Muslim counterpart.
