Graduation with Indonesian Cultural Style

Graduation can be one of the best moments for someone's life. Uniquely, this is both the end and the beginning; the end for studying in a school and the beginning for facing a new stage of life. Graduation mostly gives the mix of feelings between sadness to leave friends and excitement to find other following challenges. Graduation is usually noted with prom night or farewell party. In Indonesia, students are common to use Indonesian traditional outfits in prom night or farewell party while when they have to take graduation result at school, they just need to use their regular school uniform.  However, Solo city (Surakarta) under the governance of Mayor Joko Widodo makes unique policy since 2012 for junior high school students. When they take graduation result at school, they have to wear Indonesian traditional outfit.
