Basic Education High School No. 1 Dagon

Attended almost exclusively by the children of the wealthy, Dagon 1 has some of the best educational facilities available in a Burmese private school.

The school routinely sends a disproportionate share of outstanding students to the country's most selective universities each year.

Its most famous alumna is the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.

[2] The school's main colonial era building is on the Yangon City Heritage List.

During 1988 democracy uprising, Dagon1 was one of the first high schools in Burma to form student union and participate in the protest boycott marches.

Dagon1 protest column can be clearly distinguished amongst other columns by their Green Flag with White Fighting Peacock emblem, former official flag of All Burma Federation of Student Unions and the green and white represents the uniform colours of high school students.

But all uniforms are of the same colour - a white shirt or blouse, with a green garment for the torso.

Inside the cogwheel, there are 5 coloured sections: Orange, Yellow, Green, Red and Blue representing the school council team colors.
