WorksheetCloud, a Cape Town-based edtech company, has made history by providing free, live-streamed online school lessons to over 40,000 South African learners in Grade 3 to 7 in just two days after launching.
WorksheetCloud, founded by father-and-son team Dereck and Adrian Marnewick, originally developed an award-winning exam study app that helps learners revise for school tests and exams.
“Twelve days ago we began thinking about ways in which to help the country during the COVID-19 pandemic,” says Dereck Marnewick, Chief Financial Officer. “Social media was buzzing with parents pulling their hair out trying to homeschool their children. We have access to award-winning technology and highly experienced teachers, so we launched WorksheetCloud Live Lessons.”
