根据周一发布的官方公告，北京将提高中小学体育教育的时长和质量。

Beijing will improve both the duration and quality of physical education in primary and secondary schools, according to an official announcement released on Monday.

该公告由北京市教育委员会和北京市体育局联合发布，规定所有中小学生每天至少上一节体育课。高中生每周将有三到五节体育课，在没有体育课的日子里，每天至少进行45分钟的体育锻炼。

The announcement, issued jointly by the Beijing Municipal Commission of Education and the Beijing Sports Bureau, mandates that all primary and middle school students take at least one physical education class per day. High school students will have three to five classes per week, with no fewer than 45 minutes of daily physical exercise on days without physical education.

这些措施包括八项具体举措，旨在优先考虑学生的健康，并强化体育教育在培养全面发展人才中的价值。

The measures include eight specific initiatives aimed at prioritizing students' health and reinforcing the value of physical education in developing well-rounded individuals.

此前，北京一、二年级学生每周有四节体育课，三至九年级学生有三节，高中生有两节。

Previously, first and second graders in Beijing had four PE classes per week, third to ninth graders had three and high school students had two.

“增加体育课时将帮助学生发展运动技能，培养锻炼习惯，提高身体素质和心理健康。”本月成立的北京市学校体育教学指导委员会秘书长刘海元表示。

"The increased time will help students develop sports skills, cultivate exercise habits, improve physical fitness and enhance mental well-being," said Liu Haiyuan, secretary-general of the Beijing School Physical Education Teaching Steering Committee, which was established this month.

这些措施还概述了课程的变化。中小学必须在必修体育课中至少包含三大球类运动之一。高中应提供这些运动的模块化教学。冰雪运动特色学校应将相关活动纳入教学大纲。

The measures also outline changes to the curriculum. Primary and middle schools must include at least one of three major ball sports in their mandatory PE classes. High schools should offer modular instruction in these sports. Schools specializing in ice and snow sports should integrate those activities into their syllabuses.
