Semarang State Polytechnic (Polines) held a flag ceremony in commemoration of the 72nd Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia (HUT RI).
The event which took place at the Polines Directorate yard, Thursday (17/8) was attended by hundreds of participants consisting of lecturers, education staff and Polines students and took place solemnly.
Acting as the supervisor of the ceremony was Ir. Supriyadi, MT (Director of Polines). Meanwhile, the members of the Polines Student Regiment (Menwa) were assigned to raise the red and white flag.
On the occasion of this flag ceremony, Ir. Supriyadi, MT (Director of Polines) read a written speech from the Minister of Research Technology and Higher Education of the Republic of Indonesia Prof. H Mohamad Nasir PhD Ak. In his remarks, the Minister of Research, Technology and Higher Education said, we actualize this gratitude with "INDONESIA WORKING TOGETHER" in realizing a sovereign, independent and personal Indonesia based on mutual cooperation.
One of our biggest challenges today is the issue of the quality of Human Resources (HR) in Indonesia. Most of the workforce in Indonesia has a low level of education and is categorized as unskilled labor or low-medium skilled. This is not only a challenge for us at the level of economic productivity, but also affects our competitiveness at the regional and global levels. Because competition in this era of globalization will be largely determined by the quality of human resources. To answer these challenges, the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education has set the 2019 strategic objectives that we will achieve, namely "Increasing the relevance, quantity and quality of highly educated human resources, as well as science and technology and innovation capabilities for the nation's competitive advantage".
At the end of his remarks, the Minister of Research, Technology and Higher Education said, in commemoration of the 72nd anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Indonesia, let us all work together to continue to build research, technology, and higher education with full integrity, work ethic, and the spirit of Gotong Royong, and always put the interests and future of the Indonesian nation first. .
On the occasion of this ceremony, the Director of Polines, Ir. Supriyadi, MT presented the Satyalancana Karya Satya honorary award to lecturers and education staff for a period of service of 30 years, 20 years, 10 years.
