The National Day emerged when Myanmar was under the rule of the colonialists who waged three aggressive wars against the country.All Myanmar nationals were oppressed politically,economically and socially. At that time patriotism of all national races was awake.
The colonialists established the Yangon University with the aim of producing educated persons who would assist their administrative machinery.
In 1906 Young Men’s Buddhist Association (YMBA), a national political force waging anticolonialist movement, came into existence. In 1920, General Council of Burmese Associations (GCBA) was formed and it launched anticolonialist and independence struggle.
The colonialists enacted the Rangoon University Act in 1920 designed to contribute towards the colonial administra- tive system. The Act restricted the rights of national youths topursue higher education. That was why the university students with strong nationalist spirit launched a movement demanding a new university education system while protesting against colonial education system that would prolong the alien rule in the country. It was the 10th Waning day of Tazaungmon, 1282 ME that rekindled nationalistic spirit and patriotism.Later, the day was designated as the National Day.
Nowadays, the government has laid down longterm and short-term plans for national education promotion progra- mme and has been implementing them. Opportunities to learn basic education are available even in rural areas as basic education schools have been opened in the entire nation. Youths can pursue higher education in states and divisions and special development zones.
All the national people are to make continued and concerted efforts for realization of national objectives and serving the national interests in accord with the 87th Anniversary National Dayobjectives.
