Let's take a look at some of the most interesting high school and university graduation traditions around the world.
China | College graduates in China celebrate their graduation as they wish. Many female graduates run to rent (租赁) wedding dresses instead of wearing graduation gowns (长袍) and caps. Parents usually don't attend graduation ceremonies, so the day is more about celebrating with classmates. |
Japan | Celebrations for senior high school level graduation usually last about an hour and take place during the week. Students often wear their school uniforms. Ceremonies usually take place in March just before the beginning of a new school year. |
The United States | Students can expect several graduation ceremonies: preschool(学前), elementary school (小学), high school, college, etc. So the families have more chances to take family photos to cherish (珍藏) forever. |
The United Kingdom | Graduation ceremonies only appear at the university level. The graduates are always waiting in line until their names are called aloud. |
Philippines | At many high schools, ceremonies usually take place in April. Graduating students will wear beautiful garlands (花环) and are encouraged to wear only their school uniforms. |
