PRG-07P2 ProgressionPhase 1-2-3

Tertiary Access Navigation and Transparency

Access to matriculation and other pre-university pathways is contested and the underlying intake data are not published in disaggregated form, so neither the community nor government can verify the position

💡 Suggest an improvement

Programme Logic

Problem

Structural Cause

Absence of published disaggregated intake data makes the actual constraint unidentifiable, and competing unverified figures circulate

Intervention

Publication of an annual disaggregated intake and offer series; applicant navigation support; a review of pathway adequacy reported to the Task Force

Who & How

Target Group

Qualified Indian applicants to matriculation and other pre-university pathways

Eligibility

Qualified applicants; navigation support prioritised by household income

Deliverables

Outputs

Annual published intake and offer series by pathway; navigation support delivered; adequacy review tabled

Outcomes

Qualified applicants are not lost to the system for informational or procedural reasons; the actual constraint becomes visible and addressable

Key Performance Indicators

KPI-07

Pre-university pathway transparency and conversion

disputed

Publication of an annual disaggregated intake and offer series; and the proportion of qualified Indian applicants receiving a confirmed place

Baseline

Disputed and unpublished: 1,116 seats asserted by an NGO, 1,537 offers asserted in a source draft, neither traced to MOE

Year 2

First official disaggregated intake and offer series published; navigation support operational

Year 4

Full series published for three consecutive intakes; attrition point between qualification and enrolment identified

Year 6

Series published annually as standing practice; measurable reduction in qualified applicants lost for procedural reasons

Owner: Ministry of Education

Verification: MOE matriculation intake records

Note: Deliberately a TRANSPARENCY KPI, not a seat-count KPI. No additional seats are requested and the 90:10 framework is unchanged.

Where these figures come from

Why this figure?· RM 18.0m over 6 yearsProvisional

Method: Service and publication model: navigation support plus annual data publication
Key inputs: RM 250 — RM250 per supported applicant for approximately 12,000 applicants per phase, plus RM1.0m per phase for data publication and review
Population: Qualified Indian applicants to pre-university pathways (Navigation support prioritised by household income)
Benchmark: RM250 per supported applicant for approximately 20,000 applicants per phase = RM5.000m, plus RM1.000m per phase for data publication and review = RM6.000m per phase, RM18.000m over three phases. No additional matriculation seats are requested and none are costed.
Funding split: existing 0.50 = MOE and MOHE admissions administration already funded; reallocated 0.10 = MITRA education grants; new 0.40 = navigation support and the published data series. ASSUMPTION (VAL-05).
Source: Internal estimate — no external source cited.
Status: Planning assumption pending validation· pending validation (VAL-05)
Note: RM250 per supported applicant for approximately 20,000 applicants per phase = RM5.000m, plus RM1.000m per phase for data publication and review = RM6.000m per phase, RM18.000m over three phases. No additional matriculation seats are requested and none are costed.
