Abstract: 

This paper introduces the realization of the Bulgarian Management Training Institution Development Project in the Faculty of Economics, University of Veliko Turnovo: the aims and objectives, methodology, specific outcomes, and investigation of students' opinion. Developing statistical education for business-students, we focus on using the Internet as an agent of socialization of statistical information, specifically in the context of the Bulgarian situation. Analysis of teaching in the distance module "Statistics in Internet" shows that students do not have appropriate computer skills. We discuss importance of improving computer facilities and using computer based approach for training students in how to apply their statistical knowledge and literacy.
