The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), in collaboration with its regional counterparts and National Statistical Offices across the Caribbean, is today commemorating the 17th anniversary of Caribbean Statistics Day, under the theme “Harmonising Data, Strengthening Resilience.”
Caribbean Statistics Day provides an opportunity to highlight the critical role of official statistics in national and regional development, while recognizing statisticians and other statistical professionals for their hard work, dedication and contribution to evidence-based decision-making.
With the 2025 Population and Housing Census still underway in Antigua and Barbuda, officers from the Census Office used the occasion to visit a few schools across the island to engage students on the importance of the Census and the value of statistics in everyday life.
During the visits, students were encouraged to take the Census message home to their parents and guardians and remind them of the importance of cooperating with Census Enumerators when they visit their households.
