- Annual Performance Assessment. Evaluation of the QSU’s 2020 Strategic Plan was undertaken to assess the performance for the year and to identify the accomplished and unaccomplished targets. Presentations were done by every department while strategies to be employed in the attainment of unaccomplished targets were collaboratively tackled.
