In the modern era, characterized by rapid socio-economic, cultural, and technological changes, the socio-psychological development of the younger generation has become one of the most pressing priorities. This article explores the integrative role of education and upbringing in shaping a fully developed, independent, emotionally stable, and socially responsible individual. Education and upbringing, while distinct in purpose and content, are complementary processes that together contribute to the comprehensive formation of a child’s personality. Education is aimed at developing intellectual potential and acquiring knowledge and skills, whereas upbringing focuses on forming moral values, emotional balance, social adaptability, and behavioral maturity. The paper emphasizes the need for their integration in fostering socio-psychological qualities such as empathy, critical thinking, cooperation, self-awareness, and social engagement. Drawing on modern psychological and pedagogical research, as well as the experience of several countries—including Finland, Japan, and the United States—the study shows that socio-psychological development is a continuous process influenced by both internal factors (temperament, emotional state) and external factors (family, school environment, peer relationships, and media). Special attention is given to the education reforms and youth policy of Uzbekistan, which aims to support young people not only intellectually, but also emotionally and socially. National initiatives such as the “Youth Notebook,” “Youth Leader,” and “Presidential Schools” are discussed as key mechanisms of integrating educational and upbringing efforts.
