Brian stressed that the Ministry of Higher Education,\nScience and Technology will continue to oversee higher education\ninstitutions in Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, our functions do not change, none of them. So perhaps in the\nnear future the URI Governor will explain further about its role and\nposition,\u201d Brian said at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta on Thursday\n(23\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>He also stressed that URI will not have authority over universities\nin Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut that doesn\u2019t mean URI oversees all the campuses, it\u2019s not like\nthat,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Brian said the establishment of URI will not change the\nbudget allocation for the Ministry of Higher Education.<\/p>\n<p>It is understood that President Prabowo inaugurated URI Governor\nDonny Ermawan and URI Deputy Governor Yos Sunitiyoso at the Palace on\nThursday (23\/7).<\/p>\n<p>Donny Ermawan explained that the institution\u2019s task is to prepare\nfuture leaders. He said URI will lead three educational bodies under\nit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the President is very concerned about human resources, especially\nfuture leaders of Indonesia. This is why he wants education at primary,\njunior secondary and senior secondary levels, in higher education and\nalso in government. He wants to consolidate and integrate several\nexisting educational programmes,\u201d Donny said at the State Palace in\nJakarta on Wednesday (22\/7).<\/p>",
