In order to help students' study through the Internet during the
holidays, every student and teacher of primary and secondary
schools in Beijing will communicate via email.
Students of primary and secondary schools will continue their
holidays for another two weeks. After the opening of online classes
(study.bjedu.gov.cn) by the Internet School of the municipal
education committee, the res.bjedu.gov.cn and www.cbern.gov.cn
began on May 6.
The Beijing Municipal Education Committee asked that every student
and teacher of primary and secondary schools in Beijing build their
own emails for teaching information exchange only. Teachers can set
and correct students' papers; students can hand in their homework
and exchange information via the Internet system. It is also good
for teachers to tutor individual students according to their own
needs.
According to the requirements of the Beijing Municipal Education
Committee, schools are responsible for the establishment and
management of all students' information and emails. The email
address should adopt the uniform domain which is registered by
schools, using bjedu.cn as the suffix. The user names will be
registered by uniform rules in order to make it convenient for
teachers to set information. The students' email may be named:
student's name@school's name.bjedu.cn.
Beijing students can have access to Internet education through the
96550 dial-up hotline service provided especially by Beijing
Telecommunication Company. The ID is "bjedu" and the password is
"bjedu". Students can enter the homepage of Beijing Education
Information Website directly through the hotline. The cost of the
hotline is 2.4 yuan (29 cents) per hour, and the highest controlled
price is 66 yuan (US$7.97) per month.
