Abstract

The role of statistics in the country and society, both in education
and business as well as in public administration, requires thorough reconsideration. The articles published in the scientific journal devoted to statistics — at least some of them — should have promotional and educational character to be more comprehensible for a larger group of readers-not-statisticians who have access to the Internet.
On the occasion of the 60th anniversary, the editorial board of "Statistical News" introduced the section "Statistical Education" with the aim to promote statistical knowledge in the society. It can help improve the effects of teaching statistics in schools and popularize statistical thinking in the society.
