    title: Technological reach
    desc: We build sophisticated tools and programs, but make sure they remain device independent and embrace open standards. By catering for feature phones, therefore maximising device coverage, we can serve users from lower socio-economic brackets.
  - icon: bar-chart
    title: Data and analysis
    desc: The large-scale and widespread use of our practice service coupled with the online readership allows us to monitor, analyse and gain insight into the current and evolving state of Maths and Science education. With our data, we can answer big questions.

    title: Empowering communities
    desc: Working closely with sponsors to further our reach to low-income or marginalised communities has always been part of what we do. In fact, most of our school users are from poor, rural schools.

        The value and impact of Mathematics and Science education extends far beyond the classroom walls.
Critical and analytical thinking, creativity and exploration, problem solving and collaboration - these are
the skills needed to support careers from technology development to astronomy, from data science to
finance, from engineering to economics. These are the skills we need for innovation, growth and change.
      </p>
      <p><b>With this in mind, Siyavula has a social mission.</b></p>
      <h4>Each individual should have access to the resources and support they
need to achieve the education they deserve.</h4>
<p> Ensuring that Siyavula Practice is accessible does not only mean producing a quality learning
experience at an affordable price. It also means leveraging the affordances of technology and the insights
of cognitive science to reduce the inequality in our education system. </p>
<p>
As a South African company, we find evidence of these challenges and disparities very close to home, with
our country producing some of the lowest results in international educational assessments and rankings.</p>
<p><b>We are working to change this.</b></p>
