Parents in Armenia are busy with shopping and preparation works as May 25 is schedules as school graduation day throughout the country. But both the parents and the salesmen complain. The salesmen complain that there are not as much customers as during the previous years, parents complain that everything is very expensive.

In any case, parents who have children scheduled for graduation do everything so their children will not stay behind others because the school graduation party happens once in a lifetime.

The parents have to buy clothes, schools collect money for decorations and presents and restaurant parties. So, parents spend around AMD150 thousand during the school graduation events. Some parents save beforehand, others take money on loan and some spent their whole income for the month on that event.
