        The educational system found a special place in the Timurid and Turkmen periods, and kings, princes, princes, khatins, and scholars each contributed to the institution's growth. Despite the relative calm, political and security stability that followed the death of Timur in the reign of Shah Rukh, his successor, the living conditions of the people also improved and a suitable ground was prepared for a scientific and cultural movement. Therefore, Herat, the capital of Shah Rukh, became the center of gathering of scholars and literature, and many schools, libraries and educational circles were built in various places by the efforts of sultans, lovers of science and religious institutions. The Timurid sultans, on the one hand, provided the necessary educational facilities and facilities for the welfare of professors and students of science, as well as improving the level of education, and on the other hand, pursued the legitimacy of the government. One of the most prominent features of the Timurid and Turkmen rule is the great interest of some of these sultans in the development of science, literature and the construction of educational centers. The construction of these educational institutions has been so numerous that Jami claims that no other school has been built in such a period in the history of Iran. The most important findings of this study are the role of kings, princes and Timurid ministers in the construction of schools, the multiplicity of educational institutions, the role and function of libraries in reproducing more books, the adherence of educational institutions to a codified educational system, the prosperity of Sufism and its impact on the educational system. The endowment is in the expansion of educational institutions and the influence of the elders on the educational policy of the Timurid sultans. In the present study, the author examines and analyzes the educational system in the Timurid and Turkmen periods by descriptive and analytical methods and with reference to library sources.
