This year New Zealand is holding a census.
This only happens every five years. We are participating in Census for Schools as part of our statistics learning in maths. We don't want to give away too much information just yet as we want the children to investigate this topic for themselves, however these are some key links we will be using 2018 Census - information about the census More information about Census 2018 - why do we have a census? Census for Schools - login here O3 use login code 64340 02 use login code 29168 This is the Official Advertisement Our school/class is taking part in a nationwide survey through CensusAtSchool NZ. CensusAtSchool is a biennial online census involving students from Years 5 through to 13. It is part of an international project where some questions are in common with other countries to provide comparisons between countries, while tailoring the remainder of the questionnaire to reflect the interests of New Zealand children. Other countries participating are Australia, Japan, South Africa, UK, Ireland, USA, Korea and Canada. Schools take part voluntarily once teachers have registered to get a code for their class. Students complete the survey during lesson time, and then submit their data online to contribute to an international database. CensusAtSchool does not gain any information that would in any way identify any student’s response so it is an anonymous survey. A census of this type provides teachers with a collection of real, relevant student data which is supported by activities for each year level in which students can ask investigative questions and explore the data. Results and sample data are made available to teachers once the ‘census’ is complete. It provides an opportunity for students to use ICT in a positive and interesting manner, and to understand important issues such as managing the collection, analysis and use of data. In the last census, we had over 30000 NZ students participate! Visit www.censusatschool.org.nz/ to learn more about our census. Comments are closed.
