JAKARTA - Minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology (Mendiktisaintek) Brian Yuliarto emphasized the importance of three higher education functions in society as superior human resource printers, conducting research and innovation, and providing real solutions for the needs of the community.

This was conveyed by Minister Brian during a working visit to the Fakfak State Polytechnic (Polinef), West Papua, on Friday, July 4.

"Politeknik seperti Polinef harus menjadi node pertumbuhan ekonomi daerah. Ini dapat dicapai dengan memperkuat ekosistem pendidikan vocational, menjalin kemitraan aktif dengan industri dan pemerintah, serta membangun budaya aktif yang inklusif," katanya melalui keterangan di Jakarta, dikutip Antara.

The Minister of Education and Technology emphasized that these three functions will only run optimally if supported by strong and collaborative campus management.

He invited all universities to make campuses a center for public activities that can transmit character values and knowledge to the surrounding community.

Minister Brian is optimistic that students in Fakfak will be able to become the main actors in development, not just spectators.

"The availability of superior human resources is the key to the entry of investment. We must not lose the moment of growth. Vocational education is a quick path to a productive and competitive Indonesia," said Brian Yuliarto.

Meanwhile, the Regent of Fakfak Samaun Dahlan emphasized the regional commitment to support the development of Polinef as a center for superior and professional generation printers.

He hopes that majors related to oil and gas and marine resources can actually become an entry route for local students to work in the industrial sector.

This working visit of the Minister of Education and Technology emphasized the government's commitment to expanding and equitable access to higher education that is of high quality for the Papuan people.
