Secondary School Students Surprise Their Teacher After Naming Ceremony (Photos)

A heartwarming viral video has earned a group of secondary school students widespread praise after they surprised their teacher with gifts following his child’s naming ceremony.

In the video, the students can be seen walking up one after the other to place various items on a table at the front of the classroom while their teacher remains focused on writing on the board. When he finally turns around and sees the thoughtful gifts, he is visibly overwhelmed with emotion.

Sharing the video on TikTok, the students captioned it, “How We Surprised Our Civic Teacher After His Naming Ceremony.”

While this kind of gesture has become increasingly common in tertiary institutions—where university students frequently surprise their lecturers with gifts—it’s remarkable to see younger students embracing the tradition. This is believed to be the first time such an act has been recorded or witnessed among secondary school students.
