In Burma, National Day is celebrated on the 10th day following the full moon of the month of Tazaungmone. It is a day steeped in political significance, which commemorates a boycott by Burmese university students to protest the British colonial administration’s Rangoon University Act of 1920.
Many Burmese regard the boycott as the country’s first step towards independence. The legislation would have limited access to higher education for all but the wealthiest families, but the student boycott ultimately led to revisions in the act.
