This article studies the history of political and ideological “attacks” against Jadid schools in Turkestan at the beginning of the 20th century. The article examines the national-enlightenment significance of Jadid schools, their conflict with Soviet ideology, and the impact of this conflict on the development of the Uzbek education system. Methodologically, the study is based on the analysis of historical sources, scientific literature, and archival documents. The results show that the “attack” against Jadid schools was not only a pedagogical, but also a large-scale political-ideological campaign that led to the destruction of national education.
