Remit

We envisage the following aims for this section:

• To promote good teaching practice in statistics across post-18 education, including higher education and professional training
• To promote innovative use of technology in teaching statistics
• To facilitate the discussion of modernising statistics curricula for both specialist and non-specialist students in higher education, learning from institutions who have successfully implemented curricula combining modern statistics with areas such as computing and data science
• To promote good assessment practices in higher education for specialist and non-specialist students
• To promote the study of statistics to students in higher and post-18 education, either as a specialist pathway or as a valuable part of a degree in another discipline
• To promote statistics education generally, highlighting the importance of statistical literacy.
