Abstract

This article examines the development of education during the Jadid period in Central Asia, with a specific focus on preschool education. The Jadid movement emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a response to the need for educational and intellectual reform in Muslim societies. This progressive movement advocated for a phonetic teaching method ("usul-i jadid") and emphasized secular education, science, culture, and democratic ideals. Jadids played a significant role in establishing new-method schools and promoting cultural awareness. The movement's impact on preschool education included innovative teaching approaches and a focus on child development, providing a foundation for modern educational practices.
