Bandung – Prabowo Subianto, the Chairman of the Indonesian National Education Foundation, expressed his appreciation for the National Republic University of Indonesia (UKRI) which now has a Faculty of Mathematics and Physics.
Prabowo made this statement while attending the graduation of UKRI graduates at the Trans Convention Center in Bandung, West Java, on Thursday (29/2).
Prabowo stated that the establishment of the faculty is a strategic step in line with the aspirations of UKRI’s development.
“I would like to express my appreciation because it was originally designed to assist the nation, assist the government in filling the sector (of education) that we felt needed assistance at that time,” said Prabowo.
“I received a report that this year a Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has been opened. Mathematics and Physics programs will soon be opened, which is very strategic,” he continued.
Prabowo revealed that Indonesia still needs many scientists in exact sciences. In the future, Indonesia will need human resources who not only innovate, but also can 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,” Prabowo said.
On that occasion, he also expressed his gratitude to Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, the Rector of UKRI. Prabowo is optimistic that UKRI will continue to develop as a campus.
“I would like to express my highest appreciation, a big 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, namely the Faculty of Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Faculty of Computer Science and Information Systems, and Faculty of Economics. (SENOPATI)
