National Days

National Day in Myanmar is a historic occasion that commemorates the first student-led protests against colonial rule in 1920, which marked the beginning of the resistance movement that eventually led to our nation's independence . Celebrated on the tenth day after the full moon of Tazaungmone, this day honors the courageous students from Yangon College and Judson College who stood up for the right to education and ignited a spirit of nationalism across the country . Their peaceful boycott of the Rangoon University Act reminds us of the powerful connection between education and freedom, and the important role that students have always played in shaping Myanmar's history . As we observe this meaningful day, let us reflect on the values of unity, patriotism, and the pursuit of knowledge that continue to guide our nation forward .
