Statistical Olympics in Croatia

The Croatian Bureau of Statistics informs that until 25 January 2018 there are 517 teams from 108 high schools applied for the Statistical Olympics in Croatia with a total of 1429 registered high school students. However, this is not the only good news – at the EU level Croatia is convincingly the best on the number of registered teams per 100,000 inhabitants and has 10 times more than EU-average admissions (only Spain has a larger number of registered teams than Croatia). The first round of the national stage of the competition (exam) will be held in the next 2 weeks (27.01.2018.)
