This subject is taught in the second (upper) level of Secondary Education (S.E.), viz. in the third (last) grade of Uniform High School (U.H.S.) and in the first grade of the Technical Vocational School -T.V.S. (in the field of the Economy and Management). Furthermore, the achievement of the students in Statistics was examined according to subject matter. Based on the findings of this research, some proposals have been formulated for the better instruction of the subject. In Greece, S.E. is comprised of the first level which corresponds to the Middle or Junior High School and the second level which includes the U.H.S. and the T.V.S.
