Free GenStat for Teaching launched

GenStat is already widely used by students, lecturers and teachers across many teaching and educational organisations. They choose GenStat because of the underpinning development philosophy of the software which is good statistical practice. We believe it is vital, particularly when just starting out in the world of statistics (or any data analyses), that the fundamental principles being taught are mirrored in the software being used.

In support of this philosophy, for the first time, we are now offering GenStat free of charge to users in education, for both teaching and learning. The ease of use and step by step processes in GenStat make it a natural choice for teaching, as it lends itself so well to structured learning.

Stewart Andrews, CEO says: “We are delighted to support teachers and educators in this way. We realise they may be using other packages and changing involves no little effort. All we would say is try it. We made this step as a result of direct feedback, particularly from those in bioscience using GenStat in commercial environments, who have a desire to see young graduates coming into their organisations with knowledge of GenStat. Of course, as with any free software, there is the risk of abuse but in the last five years our experience with the Discovery Edition has shown us that our users are a very honest group of people.”
