This 1967 commemorative stamp from Iran celebrates the first anniversary of the Literacy Corps (Sepāh-e Dānesh)—a major national campaign created to combat illiteracy across rural regions. The design features flowing red and green lines symbolizing the spread of knowledge throughout the country, with a large green text panel quoting the Shah’s directive on the importance of nationwide education. Printed in bold modernist style, it reflects Iran’s 1960s emphasis on social reform and rural development. Denominated 10 Rials, it is a popular thematic item for collectors of educational movements, Middle Eastern postal history, and modernization-era Iran.
