    The main purpose of this paper is to present some concerns about statistics education in the higher education system in Turkey. In general, especially in faculties that teach social sciences in Turkey, we observed a tendency of decreasing the share of quantitative courses in curricula, including statistics. Also we observed that statistics departments of Faculty of Arts and Sciences have been closed because there were not enough students. On the other side, it is seen that developed nations are harvesting the benefits of mathematics, statistics and computer science. As a result, it has been understood that statistics education in Turkey has a paradox. While developed nations are more interested in quantitative literacy and quantitative education, it seems at least we are not that much.
