Figure 1.--This 2010 primary graduation ceremony had the children wear the uniforms of theirnew junior high schools. The different uniforms show that the children are going to a few different schools.

Graduation is of course a major event. Parents want the children to look their best for the event. The outfits for graduation of course vary among the schools that require and do not require uniforms. Boys at uniform schools wear their best uniforms, in some cases blazers, although ties are not so common. Not all schools had blazers and often the blazers were not worn on a normal school day. We see a lot of boys wearing white knee socks, but many schools had white knee socks as part of the ordinary uniform. Here regulations varied from school to school. We are not entirely sure how boys at non-uniform school dress for this occassion. Short pants were very common through the 1990s. We see more boys wearing long pants in the 2000s, but short pants are still widely worn. There is only a short breal between the schools years. Thus the primary graduates already have their new junior highschool unifirms. Some schools have the graduating class wear the uniform at the junior high schools they will be entering the next month.
