If I understand you correctly, this seems the nub of your problem. It
is a confusion between a requirement for 'dissemination' (a broad
term) and an interpretation of that requirement as
'publication' (presumably meaning journal), compounded further by a
narrow specification for the type of publication (meaning ISI
journals). So, your government have put you in an undesirable and
perhaps impossible position.
Ken suggests that the quality standard of these 'best' journals is
high, and so not too many PhD students would have a chance of
publishing in them, and I certainly agree with that!

Again, if I understand you correctly, producing more journals of the
same high standing will not solve the problem (even if it can be done)
as the students may still not be able to get their work accepted. The
alternative of some closed network designed to cater for an artificial
market for PhD student publishing seems the worst of all worlds:
first, the threshold would have to be set low; second, nobody would
bother reading anything that was so artificially published.
Maybe a little creativity needs to be brought to the problem of giving
PhD students the chance to experience disseminating their work. For
this there many media types, as I suggested in an earlier post. Of
course, not all are adequately peer reviewed, but then we could work
on that by introducing more rigorous processes. Simply insisting on a
specific kind of journal seems rather narrow and out of touch with
modern developments.
Or am I missing the target completely here?
