Abstract: 

When the Federal Law of Education in Argentine (1994) changed the curriculum of schools, statistics contents were introduced in the initial level (from 3 to 5 years), in the E.G.B. (from 6 to 15 years) and in the Polimodal (from 15 to 18 years). It was necessary to prepare teachers in statistics as they never have this signature in their curriculum. In this paper I will show how all this process is taking place in Argentine. In the universities, it depends on the careers, but with the curriculum changes, the purpose is to introduce courses of statistics not only on the grade careers, but also in the masters courses.
