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 women graduates run to borrow wedding dresses instead of wearing graduation clothes and hats. 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), primary school, high , college, etc. So the families have more chances to take family photos together.
The United Kingdom
Graduation ceremonies only appear at the university level. They are held in the summer months from July to September. Graduates usually wear academic gowns and caps. They always wait in line until their names are called aloud.
The Philippines
At many high schools, ceremonies usually take place in April. Graduates wear beautiful garlands(花环) and are encouraged to wear only their school uniforms.
