Background

Digitized documents and forms are not used in schools in N.Macedonia. Our school is a leader in producing qualified students to start their own businesses, so practical classes and subjects such as administration and office work are utterly important. However, printed forms and paper documents are still used in class. Despite the solid digital and ICT equipment, the school does not have software for digitization and unification of the documents used in everyday teaching. 90% of teachers use paper templates and printed materials in their lectures and practical work.70% of high school students do not have the digital skills to run a paperless office. The pandemic highlighted the need to use e-forms in every sphere of life and showed that people's digital skills and abilities are key to effectively tackling the challenges it poses. Тhe use of paper in businesses reflects in destruction of the ecosystem and the abuse of natural resources, 50% of the waste paper comes from office work.
