An outdoor academic ceremony is underway under a large, light-colored canvas tent in Jos, Nigeria. Hundreds of individuals are seated in rows on blue and white plastic chairs. The majority are children, appearing to be of kindergarten and primary school age, dressed in black academic gowns with red sashes/stoles and black mortarboard caps, some with tassels. Various adults are interspersed, some in formal wear, others in traditional attire or head coverings (e.g., hijab). The tent structure, with visible poles and fabric, bears reversed text "MENTS". Beyond the tent's perimeter, green foliage and distant buildings are visible. The ground under the tent appears unpaved. All individuals are seated, observing the event.
