The Society is planning a 10-year (November 2010-November 2020) Statistical Literacy Campaign which will focus on raising the statistical literacy of society as a whole: students and teachers (in all phases), employees and employers from government to manufacturing to business, and a wide range of users of statistics including a strong focus on the citizen user, and the media.
With a view to building up an even stronger case for the campaign, we would like to capture current thinking on statistical literacy, the need for or lack of statistical skills, as shared in the news and other open media by employers, educational institutions, parliament and individual opinion formers ++.
It is hoped that members will be keen to share articles, excerpts from reports etc by posting them on this forum. This will help to build up a good picture of the value attached to statistical literacy and will be very useful as we further develop the framework for our Statistical Literacy Campaign.
