“We are currently in the midst of a rapid technological revolution where advancements have reshaped old habits and traditions. Therefore, I encourage all local graduation participants to remain dedicated learners and be adaptable in these changing times,” he advised.
The graduates of Samudra University’s Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) are expected to actively contribute to these ongoing changes and continue producing their best work.
