NURMOLDO – ENLIGHTENER AND INNOVATOR

Abstract

The article analyzes the unique pedagogical activity of the first Kyrgyz educator Nurmoldo Narkul uulu. Nurmoldo was a famous poet and writer, a talented sage, the first enlightener and wise teacher. Nurmoldo studied at the Moldo-Kyrgyz madrasah in the city of Namangan, where he later worked as a mudaris. Later he went to Kashmir to improve his knowledge. He was well versed in Eastern classics and Greek philosophy. Unfortunately, due to political ideology, Nurmoldo was not appreciated in time. Nurmoldo showed the ways of solving the problems of pedagogy and education of the 19th century and confirmed that the root of Kyrgyz pedagogy is fermentation. Nurmoldo was first to introduce his native language, Manas, and Kyrgyz folklore in mosque schools in southern Kyrgyzstan. He used the “Who found this?” in the classroom, organized a travel lesson and contributed to education as an educator and innovator. Nurmoldo, as a “phenomenon” in Kyrgyz education, needs to be studied from different aspects.
