On the occasion of the celebration of the 8th European Statistics Day, the launch of this year's European Statistics Competition in Cyprus is announced.
The European Statistical Contest is organised this year for the seventh consecutive year by the European Statistical System (ESS), which consists of the Statistical Services of the Member States of the European Union and the European Statistical Office (Eurostat). In Cyprus, the competition, which has become an annual institution, is organised by the Statistical Office, the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth, the University of Cyprus and the Cyprus Statistical Society.
The competition focuses on statistical science and official statistics. The aim of the competition is to promote statistical literacy, to arouse the curiosity and interest of secondary school students and teachers in official statistics, to highlight the role of statistics in various aspects of society and to promote teamwork and cooperation among students to achieve common goals.
The competition is structured in two parts: the national competition organised by the National Statistical Authorities, and the European final organised by Eurostat, which is open to all secondary school students attending any officially recognised educational institution in Cyprus. The winners of the national phase of the competition will take part in the European final, which will be held in English.
The national phase of the competition will take place between October 2023 and March 2024. The teams participating in the national phase of the competition will be assessed on two tasks. The first paper will be conducted through an online platform and will consist of three parts with closed questions. All teams will be invited to answer the questions on the same day and time. The ten teams with the highest scores in the first task, in the secondary school and high school cycles respectively, will participate in the second task, where they will have to prepare and present a statistical analysis of data as a result of processing a data set.
The European final will take place between April and May 2024. It will involve the creation of a video, including the presentation of official statistical data to support the message chosen by each team on a pre-defined topic.
