The Statistical Service, the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth, the University of Cyprus and the Cyprus Statistical Society announce the completion of the National Phase of the European Statistical Competition 2022-23.
Participation in the national phase of the European Statistics Competition was open to all secondary school students attending recognised educational institutions in Cyprus. The students participated in groups of 2 to 3 persons and for each group a teacher was assigned by the school to act as the teacher in charge of the group and supervise the work, coordinate and guide the group. The teams participated in one of two categories, as follows. The First Task, in which a total of 111 teams consisting of 322 students took part, consisted of three parts: (a) an essay on basic knowledge, (b) an essay on the use of official sources of statistical data and (c) an essay on the interpretation of statistical reports. The top 11 teams (due to a double tie for tenth place) with the highest scores in the high school category and the top 12 teams (due to a triple tie for tenth place) in the middle school category qualified for the Second Task, in which the teams prepared a statistical presentation as a result of processing a data set provided by the organizers.
Prizes are awarded to the winning teams of the National Phase, one from category A and one from category B, as well as to the teams with the second highest overall score. The winning teams receive the following prizes: for the teacher in charge of the winning team a tablet and for each student member of the winning team 200 euros. The teams in second place in the ranking receive the following prizes: for the teacher in charge of the team a graphic tablet and for each student in the team EUR 50. The first two teams in each category, in order of success, have the right to represent Cyprus in the European Phase of the competition.
Information about the organization of the award ceremony will be announced later.
