Based on archival materials, printed publications, and academic research, this article analyzes the structure and functioning of Muslim madrasas and cultural-educational societies that emerged in the Kazakh steppe during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The authors examine the influence of the Muslim reform movement on the field of education, particularly in madrasas, as well as the spread of the innovative movement of Jadidism. Through concrete examples, the article reveals the characteristics of this movement. It investigates the curricula and subjects taught in modern-spirited madrasas such as the Gabdulvaliyev institution in Verny, “Mamaniya” in Aksu, “Yakobiya” in Kapal, “Kazakiya” and “Gizatiya” in Zaisan, and “Amiriya” in Kargaly, comparing them with the educational practices of Russian-native schools. The study identifies features of the educational process, efforts to involve Kazakh children in schooling, and ways to supply students with learning materials. Furthermore, the article analyzes the activities of societies such as “Jamgiyat Maarif” in Zaisan, the Muslim Charitable Society in Semipalatinsk, the Society of Devotees of Education in Verny, and others. It assesses their role and significance in Kazakh society.
