Abstract

It is important for National Statistical Offices to work with statistical educators. Improved statistical literacy will mean that their outputs are used more extensively and with more wisdom. The paper will be based on a series of case studies of what is being done in seven countries around the world to improve the link between National Statistical Offices and statistical educators (or teachers), especially with supporting resources. The focus will be on schools. As well identifying some the most important initiatives, I will try to draw some lessons on the way forward.
