In this article, the author focuses on the main stages of the formation and development of the spiritual and secular education system of the North Caucasus Muslim peoples in the 80s. 18th - the end of 19th centuries, and also features of conducting educational policy by the state in the field of education of North Caucasus Muslim peoples in the specified period are elucidated. Particular attention is paid to the discovery of new factual information, which contributes to the greater objectification of the history of this issue. The socio-political and economic situation in which the center and the periphery turned out to be at the time under consideration has caused quite serious changes in the education system.
