Doing education differently
We’re a team of people who create simple educational software products that solve real problems that teachers and children face daily. We became fed up by educational software that was difficult to navigate, difficult to understand, difficult to use and downright plain ugly.
So, we embarked on a mission to create educational software tools that were relevant to South African teachers and children and that made a real difference in their lives.
We believe that simple is better, and less is more.
To convey one of the most striking elements of our company’s culture, that the people of EvaluNet believe passionately in education, we’ve introduced the concept of “doing education differently”. The ‘old-school’ way of thinking is out. We believe that technology integration is the future and can help both learners and teachers.
Everything we offer …

Interactive revision worksheets to help learners prepare for tests and exams.
XT
Interactive assessment and testing software to help teachers save time.
