One of the major thrusts of the Philippine Statistical System (PSS) is to strengthen the capability of statistical human resources in the country. To give impetus to this thrust, the Executive Board of the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) as specified in its Resolution No. 11, Series of 2004 has approved the establishment of a Scientific Career System (SCS) for Statisticians following the rules and regulations of the Philippine Scientific Career System (PSCS).
The career path of statisticians has always been built along the lines of the Career Executive Service (CES). With the adoption of the above noted resolution, a scientific career path is now open to all statisticians (along with counterpart in other disciplines – Annex A) who are connected with statistical agencies or statistical units and offices of any government agency.
The SCS for Statisticians is governed by the rules of the Philippine Scientific Career System. As such, it cannot introduce rules and procedures that are not consistent with the PSCS.
