ABSTRACT:

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of Abdurauf Fitrat’s works in youth education. The study examines Fitrat’s pedagogical, educational, and social views in close connection with the process of shaping the younger generation. The ideas advanced in his works—such as the pursuit of knowledge and enlightenment, independent thinking, awareness of national identity, and moral maturity—are systematically presented. The article comparatively analyzes Fitrat’s views on youth education with modern pedagogical principles and substantiates that his ideas remain relevant for today’s educational system. In particular, his interpretation of education as a means of comprehensive personal development, his encouragement of youth toward social activity, and his approach aimed at harmonizing national and universal values are evaluated as important scientific outcomes. The research concludes that Fitrat’s works have not only theoretical but also practical significance in youth education and that their integration into modern educational processes is necessary.
