As part of the programme for promoting statistical literacy, the Census and Statistics Department releases annually the teaching kit entitled "Living with Statistics". The teaching kit aims mainly at providing secondary school teachers and students with a convenient means of accessing reference materials on commonly used statistical methods and official statistics in Hong Kong. It also touches upon possible pitfalls that should be avoided in applying statistics.
With a better understanding of official statistics and proper statistical methods, students will be able to enhance their awareness and appreciation of statistical information in interpreting the social and economic situations of our society in an objective and effective manner.
