This set of three stamps commemorates Myanmar's National Day. The designs feature a student holding the national flag, a soldier with a flag, and a farmer with a flag, symbolizing the unity of students, the military, and the peasantry in the nation's revolutionary spirit. The vibrant colors and patriotic imagery reflect the political climate of the era.

Issued under the socialist government of Ne Win, these stamps celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1920 university student strike against the British colonial education system, an event now marked as National Day.
