Bandung – Chairman of the Indonesian National Education Foundation, Prabowo Subianto, expressed his appreciation for the Indonesian National University (UKRI), which now has a Faculty of Mathematics and Physics.
Prabowo conveyed this during the graduation ceremony of UKRI undergraduates at the Trans Convention Center, Bandung, West Java, on Thursday (29/2).
Prabowo said that the establishment of the faculty is a strategic step that is in line with the goals of UKRI’s development.
“I want to express my appreciation that from the beginning, it was designed to help the nation, help the government to fill the sector (of education) that we felt needed assistance at that time,” said Prabowo.
“I received a report that this year the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences was opened. Mathematics and Physics study programs will soon be opened, which is very strategic,” he continued.
Prabowo revealed that Indonesia still needs many scientists in the exact sciences field. In the future, Indonesia will need human resources who are not only innovative but also able to operate technology.
“Our future, the future of the nation will depend on the ability to master technology. Technology is not just a commodity, not just about buying technology, but we must be able to master, create, and operate that technology,” said Prabowo.
On that occasion, he also thanked Sufmi Dasco Ahmad as the Rector of UKRI. Prabowo is optimistic that UKRI will continue to develop as a campus.
“I want to express my utmost appreciation, thank you today, especially to the Rector of UKRI, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad,” said Prabowo.
In addition to the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, UKRI currently has five other faculties, namely the Faculty of Industrial Engineering; Faculty of Social Sciences and Literature; Faculty of Computer Science and Information Systems; and the Faculty of Economics. (SENOPATI)
