A teacher leads a singing session during a specialized class preparing toddlers for kindergarten interviews in Hong Kong, China May 17, 2015. Parents believe that getting a place in a good kindergarten will help them secure a spot in a good primary and secondary school and pave the way for a good start in life. With the competition being so fierce, sought-after kindergartens can be selective about who they let in. Pre-kindergarten interview courses train them to be disciplined, responsive and polite through games, music and dance. They also offer one-on-one mock interview sessions. Picture taken May 17, 2015.
