The implementation of the PSPTN Phase 1 was guided by the 2007 – 2010 National Higher Education Action Plan, which outlined strategies and action plan that aimed at enhancing and improving the national higher education system within the period of the 9th Malaysia Plan (9MP). In 2010, 22 Critical Agenda Projects (CAP) were identified and implemented.

The process of performance review and key performance indicator review is implemented continuously. It is based on current needs, as well as on the changing scenario and the needs of higher education, not only in Malaysia, but also globally. The achievement of the PSPTN Phase 1 was benchmarked by the achievement of each CAP target, whose key performance indicators (KPI) were predetermined through consultation and discussion with the implementing parties and stakeholders
