DEVELOPMENT OF STATISTICAL EDUCATION IN MODERN RUSSIA: MYTH OR REALITY?
Abstract
The article examines various aspects and components of one of the most complex and multifaceted problems, regarding the comprehension of the role of statistical education and the possibilities of its development in modern Russia. The obvious underestimation of the role of statistics in the life of Russian society and, as a consequence, the low statistical literacy of officials, managers of various levels, politicians and ordinary citizens testify to the urgent need for further improvement of statistical education. In this context, the authors find that, a great scientific and practical interest provokes a comprehensive analysis of the obstacles and difficulties while facing this process.
In article the complex characteristic of the conditions and major factors defining both the current state, and possibilities of development of statistical education is given, it identifies organizational barriers that clearly indicate the intensification of the process of curtailing statistical education and training of statistical staff in our country. The article also highlights the topical and most important problems of the development of statistical science forming prerequisites for destruction not only the statistics as a special branch of public activity, but also of its subject area. In this regard, it seems that at present it is more appropriate to talk not about the prospects for the development of statistical education, but about the need of preservation of the Russian school of statistics in general, its glorious traditions and achievements.
