Both Kuwait and Dubai issued a set of stamps relative to education. But while Kuwait's stamps was a celebration of Education day, a common theme that has been maintained worldwide for stamp issues, the Dubai's stamp issue is slightly different.
It consists of 8 stamps and a souvenir sheet depicting Dubai's ruler H.H. Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum along with the rulers of:
- Qatar - H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Ali Al Thani,
- Kuwait - H.H. Sheikh Abdullah Al Salim Al Sabah, and
- Egypt (UAR) - President Gamal Abdel Nasser
By 1964 all four states had well developed education system covering primary, preparatory and secondary education, although not necessarily compulsory education for all.
