It did not stop there, the Minister of Finance then received a series of follow-up questions from the President regarding the scheme to be implemented.
"Then the president asked again, can it be (implemented) later? How to use how? Which university can go first? Is it a top five university or what?” said the Minister of Finance.
Interestingly, Sri Mulyani herself did not know in detail what the implementation in the field would be like. However, he believes that the design in question is very likely to be realized so that it will provide more benefits for education in Indonesia.
"I didn't know at the time either. But as the Minister of Finance I am responsible for realizing the president's promise, namely regarding the perpetual budget for universities. So the name of the university's perpetual budget was born," he asserted.
