Siyavula, a Shuttleworth Foundation seeded company, has just launched a mobile phone version of the Siyavula Grades 10, 11 and 12 Mathematics and Physical Science WebBooks. |

Learners and teachers may copy, download and distribute these textbooks free of charge in PDF format. This means that they have access to a curriculum aligned textbook that they can read on any WAP-enabled (capable of using MXit) mobile phone. |

Learners and teachers can benefit by having
- a curriculum-aligned textbook for their current grade wherever they are;
- an additional source of questions and model answers;
- access to the previous years' textbooks for revision and reference; and
- access to the next year's textbooks for enrichment or advancement.
