CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, October 13 (PIA) -- The National Statistics Office (NSO) MIMAROPA Region will conduct the 2011 Philippine Statistics Quiz (PSQ) on November 17 at the Capitol Square, this city. | |||
In a meeting called by NSO MIMAROPA Regional Director Flordeliza J. Monteclaro last Monday (Oct. 10), she said that PSQ is open to all Filipino first-time college freshmen who are currently enrolled in the second semester for the school year 2011-2012 in any recognized tertiary academic institution in the country. | |||
During the meeting, Monteclaro asked participating member agencies to prepare questions which will be used in the provincial elimination in the MIMAROPA region. PSQ provincial level elimination will be held within the month of October 2011 in different dates. | |||
The PSQ is an annual contest designed to test freshman college students’ knowledge of statistics. This competition has been conducted jointly by NSO and Philippine Statistical Association (PSA) since 1992. | |||
Among the objectives set of the PSQ are as follows: 1) to assess the competency and skills of students in statistics as required from the secondary education curriculum; 2) to promote, enhance, and instill awareness and appreciation of the importance and value of science, statistics in particular; and 3) to generate public awareness on the importance of statistics in all development-planning activities and win overall support for all government statistical activities. | |||
For the successful conduct of this year’s competition, the 2011 PSQ in the regional level is looking for partners who may provide financial assistance and incidental expenses to cover the PSQ activities in the province. | |||
Interested individuals who want to be PSQ partners may visit the NSO Regional Office at Camilmil, Calapan City and get in touch with Dir. Monteclaro or call 043-2867491. (Louie T. Cueto/PIA-4B) | |||
