Abstract: 

In most countries at the secondary school level, the statistics curriculum is a part of the mathematics curriculum. If we have a look at the papers on statistical education at the college or at the university published ten years ago, we can see that the requirements are practically adaptable to the actual secondary level. With the changes occurring in mathematical education at the secondary school level, with the development of interdisciplinary class projects especially for higher grades (9-12), with the increasing availability of computers at school, the teaching of statistics has changed. But first, we have to define the objective or more precisely the objectives, then the ways to get them and conclude with the limits and their reasons of the approach.
