International cooperation in statistics education in Latin America: the Chilean experience

Presenter

• Guido E del Pino (Chile)

Abstract

In Latin America the field of statistics education is still at an early stage, with initial progress being made mostly by the action of particular individuals. To sustain the achievements and to obtain higher goals, cooperative work has proven to be essential and this has been the responsibility of statistics departments and national statistical associations. Globalisation offers new opportunities to promote the cause of statistical education at all levels. This paper reviews the situation in Chile, providing a brief description of some projects, with an emphasis on the role played by international cooperation. Future goals for statistical education in Chile, which are likely to be shared by other countries in the region, are mentioned and some general recommendations are given. These are virtually unattainable without appealing to the cooperation of international statistical associations or that of large national ones.
