should opt for paperless 
education?
Reduce waste
 Make your school environment-friendly by going paperless. 
Schools require several tons of paper sheets every year, which 
will also require cutting down several trees. Since Earth is 
already suffering from climate change, it’s better to go green 
even at schools.

or lost, which can cause inconvenience and poor communication.

an app solves this issue.
