The article discusses current issues of the development of statistical education in modern Russia. Attempts have been made to determine the place and role of statistics in modern society, the importance of statistical information for public administration, business and society. Attention is drawn to the attitude of society towards statistics. So, often, there is a desire to expose and convict statisticians of distorting statistical information or in erroneous methods for determining various economic indicators, which leads to unsatisfactory results of economic development. The problems of public perception of statistical information and statistical literacy are considered. In connection with the above, an assessment is given of modern statistical education and training of specialists to meet the needs of the state and civil society in a wide variety of information.

This led to the idea of transforming statistical education into one of the areas of mathematical training. In addition, abroad, much attention is paid to the construction of complex mathematical models and the need for total mathematization of any higher education (including economic). Meanwhile, experience in the selection committee shows that it is the economy that encourages applicants to enroll in the appropriate educational program and, thus, makes statistics attractive in their eyes. The article considers the current role of Rosstat and substantiates the need to increase the status of the statistical agency. The question is raised about improving education in the context of the digitalization of the economy, creating a digital analytical platform that involves the integration of accounting, statistical and tax reporting and the use of administrative data sources for statistical purposes
