The document discusses educational objectives and provides guidance on developing objectives at different levels - institutional, departmental, and specific learning objectives. It emphasizes that objectives should define expected changes in learners, be measurable, time-bound, and focused on what students can do after learning. Objectives help frame curricula and programs, guide teaching and evaluation, and should be based on relevant information sources, health needs, and national policies. Objectives work best when they are SMART - specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound.
