EDUCATIONAL SERVICES IN THE HISTORICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL HERITAGE OF EASTERN THINKERS AND THEIR ROLE IN THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIETY

Abstract

The article explores historical and philosophical perspectives on education reflected in the works of outstanding thinkers of the East and Central Asia. It analyzes the views of Al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, Yusuf Khos Khojib, Alisher Navoi, and Mirzo Ulugbek regarding the role of knowledge, upbringing, and enlightenment in the development of both individuals and society. It is substantiated that the ideas of medieval scholars largely correspond to contemporary perceptions of educational services as a tool for the formation of human capital, the strengthening of moral values, and the promotion of sustainable socio-economic development. The study concludes that the intellectual heritage of the East retains its significance in shaping the modern educational policy of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
