Telkom is offering a free e-learning service, called Telkom e-Education, to all its existing and new mobile and fixed postpaid customers.

The online service, provided by Extramarks, covers English, Life Science, Physical Science, Natural Science and Maths from Grade R to matric and is structured into multimedia-rich 'Learn', 'Practice' and 'Test' modules.

The Extramarks offering is aligned to the official South African school curriculum, and offers live chat functionality for additional assistance. The learners also benefit from other services such as a daily study schedule, group study, progress tracking and mentor-guided learning.

"Today's generation of learners have a natural flair for technology devices such as tablets. It is time we transform their digital instincts into providing anytime-anywhere access to quality education. Our collaboration with Telkom will help us achieve this objective," says Tanay Kulshreshtha, country head of Extramarks South Africa.

Telkom Retail CEO Attila Vitai says the telco is pleased to be partnering with Extramarks and the operator is committed to providing quality products which are easy to use and give extra value to customers.

Qualifying customers will receive an SMS with a voucher number and a link to the Extramarks Web site. They will have to register on the site to access education content, and can use their Telkom data to do so.
