In the proposed research paper, we have made an attempt to generalize and present the pedagogical ideas contained in the epic «Manas» according to the version of the storyteller Sagynbai Orozbakov. The above-mentioned greatest spiritual heritage, as a means of traditional folk education since ancient times, has contributed to the formation of high ideals, the best human qualities and traits among young people. The problem of education in the epic «Manas» is taken from the very life of the people, being a reflection of the pedagogical views and aspirations of the Kyrgyz people for a better future. The ideas of the epic are on the interconnected and holistic development of intelligence, morality, aesthetic, ecological culture and readiness for work of the individual. Traditional rituals and thoughts about human upbringing are a spiritual treasure and are highly relevant in the modern period. Empirical knowledge and folk educational ideas of the Kyrgyz people, reflected in the content of the epic, folk rituals, customs and traditions, as well as the nomadic and semi-nomadic lifestyle of their ancestors, were effective means of social education for both the younger generation and the entire people.
