Abstract
This scientific article is dedicated to exploring the integration of physical culture and moral-ethical values within the national education system, based on the concept “Uluttuk dem – Dүйнөлүк бийиктик” (“National Spirit – Global Elevation”). This concept, announced by the President of the Kyrgyz Republic, Sadyr Japarov, on December 18, 2024, aims to mark a new stage of spiritual revival by restoring the cultural, ethical, and physical education traditions of the Kyrgyz people. The article proposes a holistic model of upbringing, where spiritual development, ethical behavior, and physical education are viewed as a unified system for shaping a well-rounded individual. The author emphasizes the core conceptual idea that “soul and body are different, yet inseparable.” The connection between physical education and spiritual-moral development isanalyzed from philosophical, psychological, and pedagogical perspectives, demonstrating the possibilities for achieving personal wholeness through the integration of these components. Furthermore, the article addresses specific issues in the current education system, explores their causes, and proposes solutions. It outlines key elements of a pedagogical model that fosters harmony between body and spirit. The unity of these two domains is highlighted as a critical factor in supporting the comprehensive physical, spiritual, and moral development of preschool and school-age children.
