Siyavula

What Siyavula is

Siyavula provides online Mathematics and Physical Sciences practice for learners, tools for educators, and free curriculum-aligned textbooks. Its web practice covers Mathematics Grades 8–12 and Physical Sciences Grades 10–12 in line with South Africa’s CAPS curriculum. Learners get unlimited question versions, instant marking, full solutions, and a personal progress dashboard; questions become harder as they master concepts. The practice works on any internet-enabled device, and Siyavula says the site is zero-rated on MTN and Cell C networks in South Africa. Educators can search questions by subject, grade, topic, and difficulty, then assign automatically marked homework and assessments. Reports track learner activity and progress at individual, class, and school levels. Textbooks for several subjects in Grades 4–12 are free to read and download, and users may copy, share, or modify them. Learner access and access for verified teachers are free. Paid teacher plans are billed per teacher and subject: Essentials costs $2,050 a year, excluding VAT, with supplementary groups limited to 5; Advanced costs $6,199 a year, excluding VAT, with its price capped for 9 or more teachers. Siyavula Education closed in 2023; Siyavula EdTech Enterprises spun out from the Siyavula Foundation in 2024.
