EDUCATION IN THE JADIDISM MOVEMENT: THE JADIDS’ APPROACH TO SOCIAL MODERNIZATION
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Jadid movement emerged among Muslim communities of the Russian Empire in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as a reformist response to social and cultural stagnation. At the heart of the movement was a focus on education, which the Jadids viewed as the main tool for fostering literacy, critical thinking, and social modernization. This article examines the educational system of Jadidism, analyzing the historical context that prompted reforms, the principles and methods implemented in Jadid schools, the outcomes of these reforms, and their broader social significance. The study demonstrates that Jadid education played a key role in developing a modern Muslim intelligentsia capable of engaging with the challenges of the modern world.
