To build a better, sustainable, and equitable society, Public University is to share educational resources.
Under the capitalist society, the gap between the rich and the poor is widening. Only a small number of people control the vast majority of resources and money. The gap also leads to the differentiation of education, with many people unable to afford the high cost of college.
At the same time, it is increasingly difficult to find a job, with many people facing the effects of unemployment due to the pandemic. Even worse, they can't afford to rent and live on the street and the number of homeless is increasing in recent years.
