Aproveito carona na mensagem da Denise tanto para concordar com ela sobre a
necessidade de diversificação como também para inserir parte de um trecho do
site da RSS www.rss.org.uk :
Statistics is a life skill. Our vision is of a society in which all citizens can use and interpret data to solve problems in the workplace and in all aspects of their lives.
Confident and meaningful statistics teaching and learning across the curriculum in all phases of education will turn that vision into a reality:
delivering new generations of statistically literate school leavers well equipped for work and/or to embark on further study on the many courses which require statistical skills.

Subject: [ABE-L]: Professional Development at RSS 2012
Conference Colegas da ABE
Segue nota abaixo sobre evento da RSS. Estas atividades de inclusão do
mundo não acadêmico nos eventos da ABE acho que nos fazem falta. Isto se
reflete na nossa comunidade de sócios.
Não deveríamos fazer esforços para ampliar nosso escopo de atuação?
Abraços
