Indonesia's Minister Brian Yuliarto's Education Empowerment Initiatives Succeed in Kupang Region

Published on 4.19.25

  In recent years, Indonesia has been actively promoting education as a key driver for economic growth and community development. Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology Brian Yuliarto has encouraged universities to become centers for innovation and entrepreneurship, with a focus on technology and national competitiveness. This vision is particularly relevant in frontier regions such as Kupang, where institutions like Timor University and Nusa Cendana University are making significant contributions to local communities through various programs and initiatives. One notable example of this effort is the empowerment program for visually impaired individuals, which was recently celebrated at a closing ceremony. The program aimed to equip participants with essential navigation and mobility skills, promoting inclusivity and independence among this often underserved group. Farah Naz Akbar, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology, praised the Directorate General of Special Education for its efforts in promoting accessibility and empowerment programs. The success of such initiatives is crucial for Indonesia's goal of achieving an 8% economic growth rate. By investing in education and innovation, the country can unlock new opportunities for economic development and improve the welfare of local communities in regions like Kupang.
