CensusAtSchool in Australia

Abstract

The CensusAtSchool project is an initiative undertaken by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) aimed at meeting two key objectives: (1) the development of statistical literacy amongst 10 - 17 year old students across Australia; (2) to promote the 2006 Census of Population and Housing. The paper highlights the Australian experience to date, including an outline of how the project works in Australia; the processes involved; and the challenges/success and lessons learnt. It will also outline the collaborative arrangements with Australian education intermediaries and the development of support materials and activities for classroom use.
