Koolinurk (in Estonian)
The aim of Koolinurk is to introduce statistics in a simpler form, as well as possibilities for using it. It is mainly for pupils in secondary schools, but is also useful to teachers. Koolinurk helps people to understand the essence of statistical indicators, principal methods and concepts of statistics. It also provides fresh statistics and guides pupils in how to use statistics. The presented data are just a selection of those being constantly updated. Most relevant annual data have been presented on the country as a whole and by counties. On the basis of nine indicators one county can be compared to the similar indicators on the whole of Estonia. Koolinurk provides an overview of the socio-economic life of European countries. Statistics discussing youth aged 15-24 have been presented separately, providing information on studying, employment, crime, etc. The Statistical Office tries to bring statistics closer to pupils and developed Koolinurk in co-operation with schools.
The training course for users of statistics aims to teach the users of statistics how to individually find necessary statistical information on the website, in the databases, statistical publications and news releases. Another purpose of the training course is to inform users about the official statistics production principles and of essential changes related to the use or methodological development of statistics. Statistics Estonia provides training courses for individuals, representatives of institutions, enterprises and organisations. Information about the training programmes is available on the website.
In order to modernise Eurostat’s dissemination, Eurostat has developed a dissemination system called 'Statistics Explained' . It is a new way of publishing European statistics, explaining what they really mean, what is behind the figures and how they can be of use, in an easily understandable language. Numerous hyperlinks allow for easy navigation.
Statistics Explained looks similar to Wikipedia and it therefore easy to use. However, other than Wikipedia, information can only be updated by Eurostat staff, thus insuring the authenticity and reliability of the content.
Be aware that Statistics Explained works similarly to a publication and therefore does not always contain the very latest data. The latest data can be accessed through hyperlinks available in each statistical article.
From today (Aug 11,2009) on, Statistics Explained is open to a limited public as a beta-version. The general opening, still as a beta version, is planned for September 2009. Feel free to send your comments or suggestions to marc.debusschere@ec.europa.eu or ulrich.wieland@ec.europa.eu.

Valoredati is a collection of materials designed to help students in the humanities and sciences, teachers, the general public and non-expert readers to improve their use of statistics and for anyone interested in using numbers to describe real life situations and make decisions. The hypertext is organized in three sections, which outline possible paths in the exploration of statistics.
The main contents are in the central column and are organised in four chapters: using statistics to make decisions and evaluate policies (statistical data and decision making; statistics and equal opportunities; official statistics in Italy and in the world); the fundamentals of statistics: collection, production, dissemination (censuses; sample surveys; administrative sources; how data are collected, processed and disseminated); how to rely on the quality of statistical data (principles and norms governing the activity of national statistical offices and international bodies; shared methodologies, classifications, definitions and standards; protection of confidentiality); and how to use statistical data (statistical measures; how to prepare tables and charts; how to write a paper based on statistical data).
The side-by-side columns open other paths. The left one links to statistical information on a few main statistical areas (prices, labour statistics, short-term indicators …): each area provides access to the actual data after a clear and concise presentation of its content. The right column gives the interested user the opportunity to link to other materials on statistical numeracy available on the web.
The project was undertaken by Istat (Statistics Italy) in co-operation with the Italian Statistical Society (Sis), the Inter-University Centre for Teaching Statistics (Cirdis), the Department for Geo-economical, Linguistical, Statistical and Historical Studies of the University of Rome La Sapienza, Odysseus Communication and S3Opus (two private partners). It benefited from a grant by the Ministry of Education, University and Research, in the framework of a programme for the advancement of scientific literacy.
English translation of title is “Statistics through examples”. This is the electronic version of an earlier textbook written by Alberto Zuliani and Enzo Lombardo, which tells statistics through events and aspects of everyday life. The book contains eleven chapters and at the moment the online edition provides six chapters. The next five chapters will be available in the next months.
Each chapter provides the definition of the terms adopted and a brief description of the main topics the chapter deals with. The first chapter introduces Paolo, a young boy who finds himself and his family in the statistical world of data: statistical tables on holy days, on education, on demographic issues etc. This chapter allows the user to play with Paolo through an interactive visualization.
The tables come from the Italian Yearbook of Statistics. The chapters are available in word and PDF formats. The first six chapters are: 1. A game: to find him/herself in the official statistics 2. Reading the newspapers with statistical tools 3. Men, women, sports 4. How may we were, how many we are, how many we will be 5. Italian football and 6. To fish in a lake.
A guide (in Italian) to the use of Excel, accompanied by a series of exercises, for ages 15 to adult. The material is free of charge.
Istat organized a children’s census, called “A Census at school”, in 2000. All material prepared in the context of that initiative are available at the website. The website is only available presently in Italian.
Binariodieci also encourages students to consult metadata, providing useful links available at Istat.it such as methodology on How to make a questionnaire and Classifications and Definitions.

Many of its activities (click on Activities on the top of its webpage) are concerned with statistical literacy.
Welcome to the World of Statistics
Introduction to Official Statistics is a movie in English (or in Japanese) about the world of official statistics in Japan. It starts with a very important question: Imagine a world without statistics published by official governments. What couldn’t we do? A lot of things. The video nicely promotes statistics and explains how the official numbers come to light. It has music, color, nice images and real people.
Naruhodo data for kids (Here are Statistics for Kids) (in Japanese)
This is a very comprehensive website set up for children to promote their understanding of statistics and ensure eventually the reliability of statistics. It provides for free more than 120 kinds of statistical data, including population census data.
Each year since 1973, Japan has observed Statistics Day on 18 October. In 2002 events related to statistics day included a statistics fair (which included the winners from the 50th anniversary of the National Statistical Graph Competition) and a free public symposium for academics and practitioners.
This CD is called “tsukattemiyou toukeideita” (Let’s Use the Census Data). It was distributed free to all elementary and junior high schools in Japan.
This competition began in 1952.
“The Museum of Statistics was opened in 1991, marking the 120th anniversary of the Statistics Bureau and the National Statistics Center.” (Quoted from brochure about Museum of Statistics.) Its intent is to enhance the awareness of the importance of and familiarity with official statistics in a casual setting.
The museum is free and is divided into six sections: Panel Corner (that gives a brief explanation of statistical censuses and surveys, including their development and use), Video Corner (that responds visually to statistical questions of visitors), Prefectural Publications Corner (has statistical publications compiled by each of the prefectures), Foreign Census Corner, Historic Statistical Documents Corner, and Tabulating Machines Corner (that shows these machines in chronological order so that people can easily see the changes that have occurred). It also explains how current official statistics are produced and disseminated.
Located within the Statistics Bureau Statistics Center at 19-1 Wakamatsucho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, 162-8668. Tel: +81-3-5273-1187 or +81-3-5273-1131.
The Department offers several training courses for the staff of national and local governments, enumerators, and teachers of elementary school and junior high schools in Japan. But it does not arrange courses for external users.
The Institute offers basic and advanced courses on statistical theory, methodology and practice to the staff of national and local governments. It provides four kinds of courses at present in order to meet the various needs of administrative and statistical personnel; A General Course, Special Course, Specialized Course and Special Lectures. The General Courses is held once a year. This three-month course is designed to provide statistical theories, statistical survey practice, statistical analysis and practical applications of statistical methods. The Special Courses are held covering four specific subjects for one month duration respectively; Statistical Theories, Economic Statistics and Analysis, Demographic and Social Statistics and Analysis, and Statistical Survey Practice. The Specialized Courses are held covering four specific themes for one week or two weeks; Methodology for Population and Economy Projection, Statistical Analysis using EXCEL Software, and National and Regional Accounts. The Special Lectures are held covering several fields for one week; Roles of Statistics in Administrative Management, How-to Course on Statistics, and Statistical Approach to Administrative Evaluation. The Institute bears the expense of tuition, but the sender organization bears the expense of traveling and teaching materials such as textbooks.
Produced and sent the book “Results of the 2000 Population and Housing Census in Latvia” to all primary, secondary, and vocational schools in the country. The publication can be purchased in the Information Centre of Central Statistical Bureau.

StatLine ( in English and in Dutch) is the central database of Statistics Netherlands. It is extremely user friendly. The Dutch version of StatLine contains the complete database of statistical information available from Statistics Netherlands. At the moment, the English version contains only a few matrices; it is to be expanded in the near future. Both versions are easy to use and allow the user to make queries, histograms, tables, and other graphics as well as see summary statistics.
Schools Corner (all parts are in English and some parts are also in te reo Mäori)
This website covers a wide range of learning programs. There are separate pages for primary and secondary level. The pages have parts for student use and parts for teacher use, including copies of newsletters called StatZing! (see below). There are also a variety of materials related to the 2001 Census in both English and te reo Mäori.
A paper "The Role of National Statistics Institutions in the Use and Understanding of Official Statistics in the Compulsory Education Sector” by Gareth McGuinness and Lesley Hooper in the Proceedings of the IASE Satellite Conference on “Statistics Education and the Communication of Statistics” also describes some of these efforts.
StatZing! is actually two Newsletters. One is for the primary level and one is for the secondary level. It is “distributed to every school in New Zealand three times a year. StatZing! is available in hard copy or electronic copy. The hard copy primary StatZing! is addressed to the teachers responsible for maths and social studies and the hard copy secondary StatZing! is addressed to the library with copies for the HODs [Heads of Department] of economics, geography, maths and social studies. StatZing! contains activities to use in the classroom with links to the curriculum.” (Quoted from website.)
The easiest way to access both the past and present issues of StatZing! is to go to Schools Corner. Then scroll down and click on either Primary StatZing! newsletter or Secondary StatZing! newsletter.

Forbes, Sharleen. Raising Statistical Awareness. In Teaching Statistics, Autumn 1996, Volume 18, Number 3, Pages 66 to 69.
This article describes the organization and results of the 1990 New Zealand Children’s Census.
“ CensusAtSchool NZ joins an international educational project designed to enhance statistical literacy. It began in the UK, but was based on a trial project by Dr Sharlene Forbes of Statistics New Zealand, which took place in 1990. CensusAtSchool NZ involves an online children’s survey for school Years 5 through to 13. Schools take part voluntarily, with students completing the survey during lesson time, then submitting their data to contribute to an international database. We have included some of the internationally common questions, to provide comparisons between countries, while tailoring the remainder of the questionnaire to reflect the interests of New Zealand children. Results and sample data will be made available to teachers once the ‘census’ is complete, while classroom resources will be developed over time.” (Quoted from website.)
