This investigation is a preliminary study that compares the difficulties that arise while teaching and learning statistics (from basics to college level) in Peru and Brazil throughout the years of 2009 and 2017. The data for Peru was compiled with base on: universities' thesis and journal repositories; the data for Brazil was gathered from one of the oldest magazines in the country (Boletim de Educação Matemática – BOLEMA - UNESP- Rio Claro), along with another prestigious magazine (Revista Educação Matemática Pesquisa - PUC-SP). The results indicate great similarities and few differences in the difficulties presented by students, both in a basic and college level, and graduated professionals as well as in training. From these results we were able to see a necessity for statistical didactic knowledge in the formation of teachers so that the proper teaching method can develop statistical thinking in students.
