This commemorative issue (POSTAGE) is dedicated entirely to the global observation of International Education Year (International Education Year 1970). The center is anchored by an ornate calligraphic circle containing the Quranic prayer, "And say: My Lord, increase me in knowledge" . This allegorical composition carries a profound message of academic enlightenment, scientific literacy, technological ambition, and the pursuit of knowledge across cosmic frontiers.
