One of these innovations was the opening and expansion of institutions called "madrasah" for the first time in Turkish societies and where education was carried out in a certain plan, program and order. Another important feature of this period is that the Turks have passed from the oral culture they continued before Islam to the written culture and they have entered the process of transition from the nomadic society structure before Islam to the fully settled society structure. In these established madrasas, besides religious education such as the Qur'an, kalam and Hadith, medicine, mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, logic, etc. The teaching of the courses also allowed many scientists and thinkers to be trained in this period. In addition, the support of the Karakhanid rulers to such developments caused cities such as Kashgar, Bukhara, Samarkand, Tashkent, and Balasagun to become science-cultural centers in a short time.
