Cultures all over the world celebrate academic achievement through graduation ceremonies. 1 On the actual graduation day students enter the ceremony as "graduands" and leave as "graduates", thus passing into a new stage of their lives. The whole idea of graduation dates back to the 12th century when scholastic monks participated in various ceremonies. 2 Since then, graduation has evolved to suit each society. In medieval times, priests began to wear different coloured hoods and robes to symbolise their level of knowledge and specialisation. 3 Every graduation ceremony is different. 4 A fairly popular ritual is the tossing of the graduation caps into the air at the end of the ceremony. 5 Graduation ceremonies occur not only at higher institutions of learning. Kids, 3-5 years old even go through graduation as they leave kindergarten and enter primary school. They start kindergarten knowing only how to talk and they leave knowing how to count and write letters. Now that calls for a celebration with some proud parents and teachers! A They wore hoods and robes in these celebrations. B Education is a valued part of all societies. C Ceremonies differ from culture to culture, but all mark a significant change in one's life
