ABOUT 300 of the 2,500 primary and secondary school buildings in Beijing are to be reinforced during the summer vacation to make them more able to withstand an earthquake.
An inspection found them unqualified to resist a moderate earthquake, a government spokesman said yesterday.
Xian Lianping, a spokesman for the Beijing Municipal Education Commission, said the inspections began in 2008, after an earthquake that struck Sichuan Province left 87,000 people dead or missing.
Students in 30 schools in Xicheng District will start their holiday on June 28, two weeks earlier than normal, to ensure adequate time for the work, said a spokeswoman for the district's educational bureau.
Some schools shortened their winter vacations or held classes six days a week to allow time for the work.
Similar inspections and construction will take place in Hebei, Jilin and Shandong provinces.
