Statistical education in Japan

The three papers which follow were presented as part of a special session with the above title, organized by Professor Midzuno and his colleagues from the Statistical Association of Japan. In arranging them for publication in the Proceedings, however, we have preferred to group them with the sessions into which they naturally fall. The first three papers, presented here, give an overview of statistical education in Japanese schools. They are closely thematically linked, follow each other in natural sequence, and have been treated here as three parts of one general paper.
