Helburuak

Helburuak is the Basque word for goals or objectives. It is the plural form of helburu, a noun referring to an aim or target that a person, organization, or program seeks to reach. In Basque usage, helburuak are commonly defined within planning and evaluation contexts, including education, business, public administration, and personal development. They help identify desired outcomes and provide a basis for action, measurement, and assessment.

In practice, helburuak are usually set within a defined time frame and are often accompanied by indicators or milestones to track progress. They can be short-term or long-term and may be prioritized or grouped into broader aims. Documents and plans—such as curricula, project plans, or strategic plans—often present helburuak as explicit bullet points or sections, sometimes alongside strategies and indicators of success.

Linguistic notes: helburuak is the definite plural form of helburu; the singular is helburu. Basque uses suffixal morphology to mark number and definiteness, so form and accompanying determiners can vary with context.
