Statistics can be a useful tool to help students grow and train. School can and must increasingly be a reality that helps and encourages the development and growth of people: not just memorizing notions soon forgotten, but a way to training oneself to think, individually and with others. This is one of the important challenges we have as teachers. We are surrounded by statistics yet we know little about it. In this paper, through my experience with students of medicine and healthcare degree courses, I want to highlight the role of Statistics in various disciplines. Here I will present a simple and general introduction to Statistics and to the so-called descriptive Statistics. A second part will be dedicated to Statistics and Probability Calculus. Finally, I will include some notes on the so-called inferential Statistics. I hope this text can be an opportunity for dialogue between University and School, dialogue where everyone has something important to say based on the experience we have in teaching and in research activity. I believe that a reciprocal relationship is essential in this era of rapid changes, changes that place us at the forefront in helping our students to grow and to orient themselves with greater confidence and passion towards the future.
