The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is proud to present Australian teachers and students with CensusAtSchool, an international education project. CensusAtSchool is an innovative student centred learning experience that provides students with access to real, raw data about themselves. The increasing availability of information has changed how Australians live and work – CensusAtSchool provides a fun and stimulating learning environment for students to interpret and critically evaluate data and information. The project aims to improve statistical literacy by helping students understand the world around them and assist them in making sensible, informed decisions.
CensusAtSchool is a FREE data collection and analysis project aimed at students from years 5 to 12, and is provided as an educational resource only.
Participation in CensusAtSchool is VOLUNTARY and great attention has been given to ensuring individuals submitting questionnaire responses do so anonymously and that appropriate Internet security measures are in place. To find out more about CensusAtSchool privacy and confidentiality, please visit the CensusAtSchool Privacy page and the ABS Web Site Privacy statement.
For the first time, all participating countries will include a set of international common questions to allow comparisons with other countries. Read on to find out more about the new and exciting investigative opportunities CensusAtSchool offers in 2008.
