The pillars of this unity were continuously supported by the kings from among his sons till this prosperous era under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This wise leadership made human development a top priority, and thus it achieved what it desired to achieve. Consequently, education spread and universities were built all over the country.
