Graduation traditions vary widely across cultures but often include ceremonies where students receive their diplomas. In many places, graduates wear caps and gowns to symbolize their academic achievements. The ceremony typically features speeches from school officials and sometimes a keynote speaker, celebrating the graduates' hard work and dedication. Another common tradition is the throwing of graduation caps at the end of the ceremony, signifying the transition from student life to the next chapter. Families and friends often gather to celebrate, taking photos and giving gifts to honor the graduates' accomplishments and future endeavors.
