Built for South African classrooms

Learning that starts where learners are.

Liyana helps teachers turn curriculum content into locally relevant learning materials—so lessons feel familiar, thinking goes deeper and every learner has a way in.

What Liyana does

From curriculum content to classroom-ready materials.

Teachers provide the curriculum content and classroom context. Liyana helps turn it into learning materials that are relevant, structured and ready to use.

01

Contextualised worksheets

Activities grounded in familiar, locally relevant examples.

02

Concept presentations

Clear, engaging introductions designed for the classroom.

03

Assessments

End-of-term checks that help teachers understand learning progress.

Our learning approach

Familiar first.
Deeper thinking next.

Context is not decoration. It is the bridge between what a learner already understands and the new concept in front of them.

01

Context that feels familiar

Examples connect curriculum concepts to the places, language and everyday experiences learners already know.

02

Thinking that grows

Questions use Bloom’s and Barrett’s taxonomies, moving learners from recall towards deeper thinking.

03

Impact we can measure

Built-in learner reflection and pilot measurement help schools see what is working and where support is needed.

January 2027 pilot

Built with schools, not just for them.

Liyana’s three-school pilot will test classroom usefulness, learner engagement and the practical experience for teachers. The evidence will guide what we build next.

Why Liyana

Every learner deserves a way into the lesson.

Liyana began with a simple observation: learners understand more when new ideas connect to the world they already know.

We are a South African team bringing together product, education research, technology, operations, sales, compliance and monitoring and evaluation—working towards better classroom engagement and stronger learning outcomes.
