“At a time when social media are flooded with figures, it is more important than ever to be able to distinguish truth from lies. Educating young people to interpret data critically is therefore essential. Statbel is committed to this: promoting informed citizenship, where data are used to understand, not to confuse”, says Marie Vandresse, Director-General of Statbel.

The 2025–2026 Statistics Competition reaches its climax
With no fewer than 60 schools sending 320 different teams, the seventh edition of the Statistics Competition got off to a record-breaking start. 154 teams survived the first round, in which we tested their knowledge of statistical concepts, analytical skills and competences to look up information. They had the opportunity to make a video on the topic “Statistical portrait: This is who we are, the Belgians”. In this test, we assess the competences to communicate statistics and the creativity in making the video.
More than 70 teams submitted valid videos. These 70 videos have been assessed by a team of communication experts and statisticians. The 21 best videos from this pre-selection compete for a jury award and have a chance to win a Public Choice Award.
Voting for the Public Choice Award has now closed, but the national jury is currently still selecting its favourites.
On Thursday 23 April, all remaining teams are expected in Brussels for the official award ceremony. There, they will find out whether they have won a jury prize and/or a Public Choice Award.
