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 made the statement while attending the UKRI bachelor’s degree graduation 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 aspirations of UKRI 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 at that time we felt needed assistance,” 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 until now, Indonesia still needs many scientists in the exact sciences field. Indonesia in the future 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 goods, not just buying (technology), but must be able to master, create and run that technology,” said Prabowo.
On that occasion, he also expressed his gratitude to 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 highest appreciation, thank you very much 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)
