On Wednesday (December 17th), BPS Goes to School greeted the young generation at Kanisius Elementary School, Bantul. A total of 106 students from grades 4, 5, and 6 filled the room with curiosity, learning together that data doesn't just happen.
The Bantul Regency BPS introduced BPS's role as the country's official data provider, while also expanding students' understanding of the importance of data and statistics in everyday life.
Here, children were encouraged to understand that numbers are no longer just calculations. They become stories about education, health, and community life, starting with accurate mapping.
Through this introduction to geostatistics, children were taught one important lesson:
📍 Census and survey officers don't just collect data. They work with maps.
Maps are used to ensure clear boundaries, accurate sample coverage, and that no corner of Bantul is overlooked. From village boundaries to house points, maps serve as a "compass" to ensure data accurately represents conditions on the ground.
Through BPS Goes to School, statistical literacy is instilled from an early age: encouraging children to think critically, understand space, and realize that good data always has a clear address.
Thank you for the warm welcome from the Kanisius Bantul Elementary School family.
See you on the next data adventure!
