Participation as a tutor

"The European or Liechtenstein Statistics Competition offers dedicated and interested students the opportunity to get to know and use official and high-quality statistical data collections.

My task as a tutor was mainly to inform the SuS about this opportunity and to assist them with organizational questions. It was gratifying to observe how independently and motivated my candidate was to take up the challenge."

"My main work was to remember the deadlines. When writing the text, there were a few questions regarding the length and formatting. The students worked very independently, and only the most motivated ones signed up."

"The European or Liechtenstein Statistics Competition offers dedicated and interested students the opportunity to get to know and use official and high-quality statistical data collections.

My task as a tutor was mainly to inform the SuS about this opportunity, to do some advertising and finally to assist with organizational questions. I was very pleased that four teams from one class took part in the competition. All of them worked very independently, met the challenges with motivation, and were ultimately able to take credit for their commitment with the first three places."

The European Statistics Competition takes place in two phases. The national phase is organized by the Liechtenstein Office of Statistics. There are two parts to this. One day, closed and open questions on statistical methods, and a topic are answered in a team (open book) using the publications available online. At the end of this first part, the topic for the second part is announced. The task is to write a technical article (prov.) on this topic. The first and second place team from the national phase will be allowed to participate in the international phase, where a 2-minute video will be submitted.

All students of the 8th, 9th and 10th grade of a Liechtenstein school.

The competition takes place exclusively during free time.

Except for one day in January and the award ceremony, there are no attendance hours or days. Participants organize a workplace on their own.

For tutors, the time commitment is small. Monitoring registration and assisting with administrative issues is the main task.

There is no compensation.

For the first three places there is a total prize money of CHF 900. This is awarded as a lump sum per team, graded according to rank.

No. In principle, participation can be revoked at any time.
