Semarang, jateng.bps.go.id - Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) Provinsi Jawa Tengah collaborated with the Statistics Corner of Universitas Diponegoro (Undip) in organizing ELITA (Education and Statistical Literacy for Excellent Students) Series 3 on Thursday, March 26, 2026. This activity carried the theme *“Behind Poverty Figures: Statistical Approaches in Data Analysis.”*

ELITA Series 3 featured Sriningsih, an Statistisi Ahli Madya at BPS Jawa Tengah Province, as the speaker.

Through this online event, participants not only gained an understanding of poverty data analysis but also insights into how statistical data can be utilized as a basis for well-targeted policy formulation.

In addition, ELITA also served as a platform for students to expand their connections and build networks with data practitioners from BPS. It is hoped that through this activity, students will become a generation capable of transforming data into valuable insights and contributing real impact to development.
