CARICOM officially launches Int’l Year of Statistics

Mar 06, 2013 News

 

 

Under the theme “Statistics in Everyday Life; Let us Educate and Appreciate,” the International Year of Statistics (Statistics 2013) will officially be launched today at the CARICOM Secretariat, Turkeyen.
According to CARICOM, the year-long celebration of Statistics is premised on the far-reaching effects of statistics on everyone, and an inherent lack of awareness by many people of how statistics improve their lives.
It was noted that dedicating an entire year to statistics is to: increase public awareness of the power and far-reaching impact of statistics on all aspects of society; promote and nurture statistics as a profession, especially among young people; and promote creativity and development in the sciences of probability and statistics.
The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat through its Regional Statistics Programme is collaborating with Member States of CARICOM to observe the International Year of Statistics 2013. By celebrating statistics, the CARICOM Secretariat is aimed at helping persons gain a greater appreciation for the myriad ways that statistics has helped improve the quality of life and has greatly advanced society.
CARICOM further explained that while educating all stakeholders about statistics will be the general thrust of activities to observe the year, the Secretariat’s public awareness programme will have at its core, a focus on the Region’s youth. Other areas in statistics will pivot around that core youth focus and will dovetail with activities to observe the 40th anniversary of the Caribbean Community.
