The award ceremony for the teams that excelled in the National Phase of the European Statistics Competition 2021-2022 took place today at the University of Cyprus. The awards and diplomas were presented by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports and Youth Mr. Prodromos Prodromou, the Rector of the University of Cyprus and President of the Cyprus Statistical Society Professor Tasos Christofides and the Director of the Directorate of Strategy, Coordination and Communication of the Ministry of Finance Ms. Irene Piki.
In Cyprus, the competition, which was established as an annual institution, is organised by the Statistical Service, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Youth, the University of Cyprus and the Cyprus Statistical Society. All secondary school students attending any officially recognised educational institution in Cyprus are eligible to participate. Students participate in groups of two to three persons and for each group a teacher is appointed by the school as a coordinator - leader. The teams compete in one of two categories: Category A: Lyceum cycle and Category B: Gymnasium cycle.
225 students took part in this year's competition, creating 77 teams. The first task included (a) a test of basic knowledge, (b) a test on the use of official sources of statistical data and (c) a test on the interpretation of statistical reports. From the first task, the top ten teams from each category were qualified to prepare a presentation of statistical content as a result of processing a set of data. The Jury evaluated the papers and at the end of the process the winners were selected.
The co-organisers express their warm congratulations to all the teams that participated and excelled in the competition!
