Teacher Resources
Demand for statisticians and data analysts is expected to increase by 4.4 million jobs worldwide in the years ahead. To teach students basic statistics literacy and introduce them to careers in the profession, many organizations have developed primary and secondary school statistics education programs and resources, most of which are free.

Census at School Program
Census at School is a free, web-based classroom project that engages primary and secondary school students in statistical problem solving using their own data. This international educational initiative, launched in 2000 in the United Kingdom by the Royal Statistical Society, has programs operating in several countries.
Under the direction of their teacher, students anonymously complete an online survey consisting of 13 questions common to all children and several questions specific to their country. The students then analyze their class census data and compare the results with those from random samples from other classes in their country and around the world.
New Zealand launched the 2013 renewal of its Census at School program May 6. Click here to read an announcement about this launch and to view photos of the event.
