Bandung – Prabowo Subianto, the Chairman of the Indonesian National Education Foundation, expressed his appreciation for the Indonesian National University (UKRI) which now has a Faculty of Mathematics and Physics.
Prabowo made the statement while attending the graduation ceremony for UKRI undergraduates at Trans Convention Center, Bandung, West Java, on Thursday (29/2).
Prabowo said that the establishment of the faculty is a strategic step in line with UKRI’s development goals.
“I want to express my appreciation that it was originally designed to help the nation, to assist the government in filling the (educational) sector that we felt needed assistance at that time,” Prabowo said.
“I have been informed that this year, the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has been opened. The Mathematics and Physics 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 capable of operating technology.
“Our future, the nation’s future will depend on the ability to master technology. Technology is not just a commodity, not just something to buy, but must be able to master, create, and operate that technology,” Prabowo said.
During the event, he also thanked Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, the Rector of UKRI. Prabowo is optimistic that UKRI will continue to grow as a university.
“I want to express my highest appreciation and thank you today, especially to the Rector of UKRI, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad,” Prabowo said.
In addition to the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, UKRI currently has five other faculties: the Faculty of Industrial Engineering; the Faculty of Social Sciences and Literature; the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Systems; and the Faculty of Economics. (SENOPATI)
