Or, "in the teaching methods we use," etc. "Education is given" is not terribly idiomatic most of the time to begin with (cf. "She was given a good education" and "A good education was given to her"), and if I'm not mistaken, it's only used in certain situations.
I can't find my student ID anywhere.
You might have left it where you were passtaking the tests.
"Passing a test" is more a phrasal verb that describes a state. It does not make sense to set it in a certain location.
It's getting dark.
I’d better go tomorrow.
