THE EMERGENCE OF THE CENTRAL ASIAN ENLIGHTENMENT MOVEMENT AND IDEAS AIMED AT UPDATING THE FIELD OF EDUCATION (BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY)

Abstract

This article explores the rise of the Central Asian Enlightenment Movement at the beginning of the 20th century, focusing on its transformative impact on the educational landscape of the region. Triggered by socio-political upheavals, colonial influences, and intellectual currents across the Muslim world, the movement—particularly Jadidism—sought to modernize the traditional Islamic education system and align it with contemporary global standards.
