In an effort to enhance secondary school students¡¦ knowledge as well as their interest in Statistics and Risk Management Science, the Department of Statistics provides talks, conducts visits and workshops on Statistics learning which are designed especially for secondary school students.

1. Popular Science Talk

   The Department of Statistics and Risk Management Science Programme sends teachers to secondary schools presenting talks to secondary school students. With the use of daily live examples, students can grasp the idea of Statistics and Risk Management Science. Topics of the talks include "Risk: Everything You Wanted To Know But Were Afraid To Ask", "The Art of Statistical Graphics", "Statistical Applications in Daily Lives" and "Drug Test".
