Abstract: 

The strategic objective of several statistical agencies is to advance people's statistical literacy and use. The demand and need for statistics is constantly increasing. Statistics and the ability to read them are needed extensively in society as a whole. Statistical literacy can be promoted in various ways, for example, by developing various information distribution channels and by training customers. This paper describes how the use of statistical information is continuously developing at Statistics Finland by means of training and gives an example of Statistics Finland´s web-based-learning project.
