The unique insight comes from CensusAtSchool TataurangaKiTeKura, a non-profit, online educational project that brings statistics to life. Supervised by teachers, students from Years 3-13 anonymously answer questions in English or te reo Māori on digital devices.
The eleventh biennial edition of CensusAtSchool TataurangaKiTeKura is expected to have the highest number of schools, teachers, and students participating. More than 40,000 schoolchildren are expected to participate in CensusAtSchool this year.
CensusAtSchool TataurangaKiTeKura is hosted
by the Department of Statistics at the University of
Auckland in association with Stats NZ and the Ministry of
Education. CensusAtSchool is part of an international effort
to boost statistical capability among young
people.
