Abstract Three questions are asked — why teach statistics? what statistics to teach? how to teach them? The first is considered in terms of the degree itself, general academic training, and future occupational use; the second is viewed in terms of the needs of all geography students, not just specialists or potential researchers; the third arises directly from the previous two discussions. An exchange of views through this journal is invited.
