Introduction: The era of Amir Temur and the Timurids (14th–15th centuries) is one of the important stages in the history of Central Asia in terms of the development of science, culture and education. During this period, science and education became an important component of state policy, and great attention was paid to the formation and development of a scientific environment. Amir Temur and his descendants - in particular Mirzo Ulugbek - patronized science, founded many madrasahs and libraries. Below are the main aspects of the activities of educational institutions during this period. Amir Temur was a statesman who deeply understood the importance of science for state governance and social development. In his work "Temur's Regulations", he emphasizes the need to respect intelligent people, scholars, scientists and experienced people, and to act on their advice. This attention was paid not only to the political andmilitary spheres, butalso to education. Main part: Amir Temur brought scholars and craftsmen from the conquered lands to cities such as Samarkand, Bukhara, and Tashkent, trying to use their scientific and cultural potential. As a result, these centers became major centers for the development of science and education. During the Timurid era, rich libraries were established at the madrasas. These libraries stored works written in Arabic, Persian, and Turkic languages. The Mirzo Ulugbek Library was especially famous, with many manuscripts collected here. In particular, Samarkand became the “Paris of the East.” Libraries served not only as storage, but also as places for scientific research. In this regard, education during the Timurid era was closely linked to scientific research. There is also information in the Timurid palaces that indicates women's interest in science. Especially during the reigns of Shahrukh Mirza and Ghiyasiddin Muhammad Babur, female scholars, writers, and calligraphers worked in the palaces. Women such as the famous poetess and scholars Zaynab Sultan Begim and Goharshod Begimwere active incultural life. The era of Amir Temur and the Timurids was a high stage of development of educational institutions in the Uzbek and Islamic world as a whole. During this period, not only religious, but also secular sciences were taught in depth through madrasas, libraries, and scientific centers, and scientific research was encouraged. Under the leadership of such learned rulers as Mirzo Ulugbek, science and education rose to a high level, creating a solid foundation for future generations. One of the important aspects of the educational process during the Timurid era was an individual https://ijmri.de/index.php/jmsi volume 4,issue3,2025 867 approach. Each student received not only theoretical knowledge from his teacher, but also practical skills. The educational process was based on the tradition of a teacher-student relationship, and the effectiveness of this system was very high. Scientific research was also an integral part of the educational process. Today, some of the principles of the educational system during the Timurid era are reflected in the modern educational model. For example, the practice- based education system of that era is compatible with today's STEAM approach. Also, the subjects taught inmadrasas are consistent with today's principles ofinterdisciplinary integration. Summary: The role of scientific centers and libraries of that time continues today through universities and scientific research institutes. In conclusion, it is important today to further improve the modern education system based on the experience of the Timurids and enrich historical traditions with innovations. In conclusion, it is worth saying that the era of Amir Temur and the Timurids is a unique period in world history in terms of the activities of educational institutions, the development of science and cultural revival, which is based on a deep state policy, respect for scientists, the integrity of the education system and the appreciation of scientific heritage. The Timurids' legacy in this direction laid the foundation for the subsequent Baburians and even theEuropean Renaissance.
