About the book:
Education is a key for a country’s development, but it
becomes a hindrance when it is unequally distributed. This
big problem of disparity in Education system can be solved
through technology. Hence it’s high time we embrace
technology in Education sooner than later.
Teachers will therefore use the book in their laptops to teach
and even give students notes to read online after revision.
