The children were brought to the party by a limousine, live music was playing in the hall, and the culmination of the evening was the ceremony of presenting "graduation robes", accompanied by a fire show - to loud music and applause. 
A graduation party for students of a private kindergarten was held in Aktau, Kazakhstan. The scale of the celebration surprised even residents accustomed to local customs. The six-year-old children were brought to the restaurant in a white Hummer limousine. Live music and a festive program awaited them there.
The boys were dressed in formal suits with vests, and the girls in elegant ball gowns. Individual holiday sets were prepared for each child.
Of course, the restaurant was decorated to make the holiday experience complete, and an entertainment program for the "heroes of the occasion" (or rather, for beautiful pictures and videos) was prepared. There were dances, live music and a fire show.
The holiday caused a heated discussion on social networks. Some users were perplexed about what kind of graduation would await these children after finishing school, if after kindergarten their parents shelled out a tidy sum for the holiday (it is not reported how much the graduation cost each family, but, apparently, the costs were high).
Other commentators are sure: if there is money, why not arrange a party for the children. Although most users agreed that it was an evening for parents. Animators, ice cream tables and fun games would be enough for the children.
The Aktau city education department reported that the footage shows the graduation of the private kindergarten "Alem Kids", which opened in 2024.
"This year, 24 students graduated. The graduation party was held at the restaurant "Shahnaz". This event was fully financed by the kindergarten itself. This includes renting the restaurant, children's clothing, a car and other events. The parents did not raise any funds," the city education department quotes the publication Nur KZ
This means that the fee for the kindergarten was so inhumane that it was able to cover all the expenses for the graduation party. And what do you think, is it worthwhile to organize graduation parties at all after the end of each stage of education? Or is it enough to have only the party at the end of high school and university?
