Donny Rangkap Wamenhan and URI Governor, Say There are State Security Gaps
JAKARTA - Marshal TNI (Ret.) Donny Ermawan Taufanto will remain as Deputy Minister of Defense after being inaugurated as the Governor of the Republic of Indonesia University or URI.
Donny said the two positions had a slice, especially in education, national insight, patriotism, and character formation of future leaders.
"He is still the Minister of Home Affairs," said Donny after being inaugurated by President Prabowo Subianto as the Governor of URI at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Wednesday, July 22.
According to Donny, the Ministry of Defense also has the task of socializing national defense and national insight. Similar material will be given to URI students.
"It is still a catch because after all there is a cut," he said.
URI is prepared as a university to produce future government and SOE leaders. Education will emphasize managerial skills, integrity, honesty, love of country, and nationalism.
Donny said that the policies made by the graduates are expected to be in the interests of Indonesia.
"This means that the policies that are made are pro-Indonesia," he said.
He emphasized that URI is different from the National Resilience Agency. Lemhannas continues to carry out education related to national resilience, while URI provides formal education and training of managerial capabilities.
URI students will receive academic degrees. The government is temporarily preparing a bachelor's program, while the master's program will be developed later.
URI will also work with a number of leading universities abroad. Its teaching staff can come from within the country, abroad, or other universities.
Donny said all students would receive scholarships. The selection of admissions is designed to resemble the pattern of the Defense University and is opened through a special registration process.
The first program has been running with 399 new state-owned enterprises as participants. They have been following the training since May 20.
