International Eradication of Illiteracy Day
This companion issue for the International Eradication of Illiteracy Day uses a highly expressive, human-centric design to promote the state's educational renaissance. The composition features an open book displaying the calligraphic text "Al-Ilmu Nur" (Knowledge is Light), positioned directly above an array of outstretched, uplifted hands reaching toward the source of knowledge. The striking imagery carries a message of social inclusivity, collective aspiration, and human capital development, representing the Omani people's shared eagerness to participate in the state-funded literacy programs introduced during the early years of Sultan Qaboos's reign.
