THE ISSUES OF EDUCATION AND UPBRINGING IN THE WORKS OF MAHMUDKHOJA BEHBUDIY
Abstract
This article examines the ideas concerning education and upbringing advanced by the Jadid enlightenment movement, drawing on Mahmudkhoja Behbudiy’s publicistic writings, dramaturgy, and views on school reform. It explores such issues as new-method schools, the integration of secular and religious knowledge, national identity, family responsibility, and the acquisition of vocational skills by young people. The educational concepts presented in the drama Padarkush and the article Ehtiyoji millat (The Needs of the Nation) are interpreted comparatively, and their significance for contemporary pedagogical thought is highlighted.
