Abstract: 

In the late sixties Hong Kong took her first step in introducing statistics into the secondary school mathematics curriculum as recommended by many national and international working groups in the mid fifties and early sixties. As statistics forms only a small portion of the entire mathematics syllabus, it is seldom singled out for inspection by mathematics educators in Hong Kong. We wish to take a first step in addressing this problem.
