Abstract: 

Over the past 40 years or more there have been many attempts to improve the curriculum in school statistics. They have had varying degrees of success. Referring mainly to experience in the UK, but also noting developments in the USA, I shall try to identify the lessons to be learned if such curriculum development is to be successful.
