Middle and elementary schools in Beijing will remain closed for another two weeks after the first two-week holiday ends on May 7.

The city's education department ordered the closure to prevent the spread of SARS among the 1.37 million students.

Meanwhile, authorities plan to hold correspondence classes for the students, mainly via TV broadcasts and the Internet.

The makeshift classes will focus on reviewing what was taught before the SARS-enforced vacation started. Teachers and school leaders will stay on and direct the students.

Students from families who do not own TV sets will be helped by their schools to attend classes.
