Bandung – Chairman of the Indonesian National Education Foundation, Prabowo Subianto, expressed his appreciation for the University of the Republic of Indonesia (UKRI), which now has a Faculty of Mathematics and Physics.
Prabowo stated this when attending the graduation of UKRI undergraduates at the Trans Convention Center, Bandung, West Java, on Thursday (29/2).
Prabowo said the establishment of the faculty is a strategic step in line with the aspirations of developing UKRI.
“I want to express my appreciation that from the beginning it was designed to help the nation, help the government fill the sector (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 programs will soon be opened, this 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 buying technology, but 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 grow as a campus.
“I want to express my highest 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 Humanities; Faculty of Computer Science and Information Systems; and the Faculty of Economics. (SENOPATI)
