INTRODUCTION

The Statistical Training Programme -For Africa (STPA) continues to pursue its objectives in thn area of dissemination of information on statistical training activities of interest to the African countries.

At the request of the third session of the Joint Conference of African Planners, Statisticians and Demographers in Tiarch 1984, the first edition of the Directory of the Statistical Training Centres not participating in the Statistical Training Programme for Africa was prepared and published in June 19BC;. This is the second edition of the Directory.

The secretariat requested information contained in this Directory from the centres concerned. During the preparation of the first edition, seven centres, one in the French-speaking countries and six in the English-speaking, countries responded to the secretariat request, In the preparation of the second edition the response rate of the centres increased such that there are now a total of twenty centres included in the present directory, six in the French-speaking countries and fourteen in the English-speaking countries.

It is hoped that a wide dissemination of the second issue of the Directory can be ensured with the help of National Statistical Offices and the training institutions within and outside Africa.

6. Objectives

The primary objective of the degree programme has been to train junior statistical professionals who will serve in the collection, processing and analysis of statistical

data. The department has also the objective of offering service courses to other

teaching units in the University.

7. Brief Historical Sackground

Based on the recommendations of the First African Statisticians Conference which was held in 1959, the United Nations established statistical training centres in Africa, on a regional basis. The Centre for the East African region was opened in Ethiopia in 1961.- The Centre v/as located in the Faculty of Science of the former Haile Selassie I University and provided a one-year prouranre leading to a certificate in statistics for candidates demited by different governments of the region. The name of the Centre was "UN Statistical Training Centre1'. Tho Centre operated durinr

the years 1361-1965.

The Centre functioned under the auspices of the United Nations through the Economic Commission tor Africa (EGA), the Ethiopian Government and finally through the then University College of Addis Ababa. A director recruited through ECA was assigned to run the pro,er~-rr.;.

The objectives of the programme were:

(a) to organize courses in statistical methods and techniques so as to

prepare trainees frorc African countries for middle-grade jobs in Statistical Offices;

(iO to arrange for the participation of the trainees in field surveys

organized bv the Government of Ethiopia and other African countries;

(c) to provide consultancy services on problems of training statistical

personnel in Governments in Africa or their agencies.

The courses offered to the trainees were mainly in Economics and Agriculture

oriented subjects. The trainees had to coriplete 34 credit hours in two semesters

to be eligible for the award of a certificate.

E/ECA/STPA/DM.5/11

Page 6

In view of the growing demand for highlv qualified statistical personnel, the

Government of Ethiopia instituted two additional T)roprammes in 1966/67 academic year.

The programmes were the Diploma and Degree in statistics. At this time, the Centre

was renamed ''Statistical Training Centre". These different levels of training

operated simultaneously under the supervision of the Faculty of Science within the

Mathematics Department until 1973 when the Training Centre was reorganised and named the "Department of Statistics1'.

In 1973; die certificate :n-ogramrie ended and the Diploma programme started in the Extension Division.

The degree and diploma programmes which started in 1966/67 academic year continued up to 1977. During 1977, the Diploma programme was terminated. Since 1P77, the

Department of Statistics run the degree programme during the day and the diploma

programme in the Extension Division. The graduate programme in statistics started in 19S3/84 academic year.

8. Academic Staff

The academic staff of the Department of Statistics consist of:

One Professor on sabatical leave Two Associate Professors

Two expatriate Associate Professors One Assistant Professor

Six Lecturers

The Department also relies on staff from the Department of Mathematics.

9&10 Teaching Programmes and A'dmission Requirements The Department offers the following programmes:

(iv) Qualification for graduation

- To qualify for the award of the B.Sc. degree in statistics, a candidate is required to take at least 53 semester credit hours in Statistics, about 30 in Mathematics, 9 in English, 7 in Biology, 7 in Physics, 4 in Chemistry and 30 in Social Sciences. Hie candidate must also pass with a grade point average of 2.0 or better. In addition, the candidate is required to present a senior paper in

- Statistics majors may not graduate with more than three D's or with any grade of F or with a GPA of less than 2.0 in statistics courses.

The GPA in mathematics should also be not less than 2.0 hut students may graduate with one or more D grades but with no F grade.

(c) Graduate programme in statistics

The main objectives of the H.Sc, programme in statistics are:

- To train high-level statisticians who will be equipped with the necessary

knowledge^needed for providing nrofessional sunport for the orderly development of Ethiopia's economic and social services.

- To train staff that would be eneared in the teaching of statistics at the undergraduate or junior college levels of the country.

- To strengthen the undergraduate nrograriTTie.

- To provide the country with personnel capable of conducting applied

research in the University, Institutions, Government Ministries and Agencies.

- To enhance research capability of the Department's teaching staff, i) Duration of the Course

A minimum of two years for the M.Sc. degree and a maximum of 5 years.

ii) Entrance Requirements

- Candidates must fulfil the Addis Ababa University requirements for admission to the Master's programme as laid down in the regulations.

- Candidates who have the decree of B.Sc. in statistics at Addis Ababa University or any other recognized institution of higher learning

and satisfy the above condition may be admitted directly to the graduate

programme.

- Other candidates with Bachelor's degrees in related subjects such as

The major objective of the under-graduate programme is to prepare students for a career as statisticians. To achieve this, objective courses are offered in key areas of statistics such as Probability and Stochastic processes, Design and analysis of Experiments, Statistical methods and Inference, Sampling technique

Quality control and Operations Research. Laboratory, field work and research project provide opportunity to apply the theory learned in a classroon.

The post-graduate program is aimed at training students thoroughly in contemporary knolwedge of their major areas of interest and to contribute to that knowledge through

scientific investigation.

7. Brief Historical Background

The Department of Statistics is part of the Faculty of Physical Sciences of the University of Nigeria. The Department is located at Nsukka Campus.
