Education Day Commemorative (UAR Era)

This 10-millieme definitive stamp marks Education Day (عيد العلم) in 1961, celebrating academic advancement, scientific literacy, and cultural enrichment. The central design displays a stylized Rutherford-Bohr atomic model radiating light over an open textbook, surrounded by individual symbols representing the core disciplines of a comprehensive curriculum: a microscope for biology, a treble clef for music, a set square for geometry, and a palette with a brush for fine arts. Issued by the United Arab Republic (UAR) with the integrated "PALESTINE / فلسطين" inscription, the stamp highlights the administration's investment in structured educational infrastructure and human capital within the Gaza Strip.
