2021 Annual Report

This section provides significant achievements in implementing the 2021 Annual Performance Plan towards the realisation of the university's Vision 2030 and the 2021 to 2025 Strategic Plan's seven strategic goals. The progress in this report focuses on students access with success, the academic project, staff development, research and innovation, including governance issues under each strategic goal aligned to the key performance indicators. In summary, the overall institutional
performance as at 31 December 2021 in implementing the 2021 Annual Performance's (APP) 38 targets is 55% (21 out of 38 targets) achieved 100% and above.

It should be noted that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including student protests, led to adjustments in the 2021 Academic Calendar, resulting in delays in implementing some of the 2021 APP planned targets. For instance, the
commencement of the 2021 academic year on 06 April 2021 negatively impacted on the institutional performance for the 2021 academic year. However, the university Management remained committed in managing operations during these
difficult times in order to contribute to the overall institutional success.
