Problem with vs of

Is There a Problem with the Education System in the Uk?

https://vocal.media/education/is-there-a-problem-with-the-education-system-in-the-ukI know prepositions are bit tricky and idiomatic but still I want to know why can't we use the preposition "of" instead of "with" after the noun "problem"?

There is no specific rule. However, I've noticed that learners of English generally want to use "of" a great deal more than it is appropriate. In many cases, "of" should be your last choice.

  • The choice of preposition may be determined by the preceding verb or noun, or, less often, it may be determined by the following noun.
  • That means that sometimes you have to learn word groups rather than just single words.
