Abstract: 

Statistical science is important in a developing economy. Consequently, the teaching of statistics must meet particular and rigorous demands. But in developing countries it is not so easy to direct any of the few available resources toward the teaching of statistics. So those countries have to choose the best way to follow the evolution of statistics and to apply it efficiently, especially in the new contexts of the global economy and the development of new technologies for information and communication.
