Do you think Universities can help schools solve obstacles? I think YES! The main reason is that universities can provide teaching support and technical support to schools, and they can provide future teachers to schools. Every year, many people graduate from different universities, and they go to schools to become a teacher, so university is a good place to educate future teachers. When these people learn in the university, they can learn how to teach, and how to become a good teacher in the school.
