Educational Evolution and Linguistic Legacy of Afghan Uzbeks

Abstract

This article examines the historical existence of Turkic populations in Afghanistan, emphasizing the enduring settlement of the Uzbek populations in the nation and their ancestral roots. Furthermore, it highlights the fact that the Afghan Uzbeks persist in utilizing their indigenous language for verbal interaction up to the present time. Over time, the importance of villages, mosques, Mullahkhanas, and madrasas has shaped the growth of traditional teachings in Afghanistan. Moreover, these Mullahkhanas and madrasas function as forums for the development of prose and poetry in Uzbek and Persian languages. Integrating books into education across all fields of study holds significant importance. This page provides details about the development of authorized educational institutions, commonly referred to as "home schools," during the rule of Amanullah Khan. Amanullah Khan established schools in various locations, with a special focus on rural areas, and provided comprehensive information about each school.
