Abstract: 

The problems that the teaching of Statistics generates are diverse and complex. They emerge either from the "formal" teaching (primary, secondary, and university), which is offered under the responsibility of the "academic statisticians", or from the training of governmental statisticians, who have responsibility for operation and supervision of technical and professional activities. The present situation of teaching statistics in Latin America is described.
