THE ROLE OF THE MAHALLA INSTITUTION IN THE CIVIC EDUCATION OF SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

The article examines modern theoretical concepts of civic education and their adaptation to the context of Uzbekistan. Particular attention is paid to the “School–Mahalla” model as an integrative form of interaction between educational institutions, the family, and the local community. The key factors in the formation of civic identity are analyzed, including traditional values, digital transformation, and intercultural dialogue. It is shown that this model combines national educational traditions with universal democratic values and contributes to the development of socially responsible and civically mature individuals
