“We know that achieving good results in STEM subjects opens doors for learners to further education and exciting, in-demand career opportunities, and we are extremely proud of the work that Siyavula is doing for young South Africans,” said general manager for the MTN SA Foundation, Kusile Mtunzi-Hairwadzi.

Not only does Siyavula provide a free-to-use and zero-rated service, it also prints “open textbooks”. These textbooks are free to access and are licensed under a Creative Commons Non-Derivative license. This means you are free to share the material, but if you remix, transform or build upon the work, you can’t use the material. You must also credit Siyavula if you do share this content.

Siyavula also helps teachers get a better idea of how their learners are performing. This brings data analysis into the classroom helping teachers do the best job they can do.

“It’s so encouraging to watch hundreds of thousands of learners across South Africa flock to the platform annually, all in an effort to better themselves. It’s been a much-deserved record breaking year for Siyavula, and all as result of the commitment they put into doing whatever it takes for South Africans learners to succeed,” concludes Mtunzi-Hairwadzi.
