The Statistical Service, the Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth, the University of Cyprus and the Cyprus Statistical Society announce the completion of the National Phase of the European Statistical Competition 2024-2025.

The participation in the national phase of the competition was open to all secondary education students who were studying at any officially recognised educational institution of Cyprus. Students participated in teams of two to three pupils, and each team had a teacher from their institution acting as the tutor, who was supervising, coordinating and tutoring the team.

The teams participated in one of two categories as follows:

• Category A: Upper Secondary (up to 18 years on 31/12/2024)
• Category B: Lower Secondary (up to 16 years on 31/12/2024)

The competition comprised two assignments. In the First Assignment, which included three parts, a total of 164 teams participated, consisting of 461 students. The three parts were as follows: (a) Basic knowledge test, (b) Use of official statistical data sources test, and (c) Interpretation of statistical reports test.

The top 10 teams with the highest score in the upper secondary education category and the top 11 teams (due to a 2-team tie for the 10th place) in the lower secondary education category qualified to the Second Assignment, in which they had to prepare a presentation of a statistical analysis based on a dataset given by the organisers. The teams presented their assignment before a jury. The final ranking of the teams, based on the score of the second assignment, determined the winning team in each category.

The winning teams, in each category A and B, receive the following awards: the amount of 200 euro for each student of the winning team, a tablet for the tutor of the winning team, and an honorary plaque for the school of the winning team. The teams with the second highest overall score in each category receive the following awards: the amount of 100 euro for each student of the team and a graphic tablet for the tutor of the team.
