Alymbek Datka's contribution to education

The article tells about the madrasa built by Alymbek Datka in the city of Osh during the reign of the Kokon Khanate. During the Kokon Khanate period, the Kyrgyz, like other Muslim nations, educated their children in religious schools and madrasahs, so Alymbek Datka, who cared about the future of the young generation, built a madrasa in Osh city in 1860 with his own funds. Alymbek Datka's white madrasah was built similar to the Khan madrasa in Kokon. The madrasah of Alymbek Datka was built from ripe winter, consisted of a workshop and 28 ojuras. Two teachers and up to a hundred students lived and studied there. Aji Mukambet and Sulaimankuldar taught at the madrasah. Madrasahs, being institutions of higher education, did not remain conservative, but rather grew and developed. These educational institutions have preserved the best traditions of Kyrgyz scientists, educators, and great thinkers precisely in these madrasahs
