The lesson objective is not a secret to be kept away from your learners, and every teacher agrees with this. The lesson objective indicates desirable knowledge, skills, or attitudes learners are to gain from the lesson.
Objectives of a lesson are key components of teaching and serve as the foundation for building lessons to be taught and the associated assessment for determining if the objectives have been achieved.
It is important that learners know the lesson objective.

A lesson aim or objective that important general statement indicating the overall goal of the lesson.
It indicates the very intention behind the entire lesson. In other words, such objectives are better and useful if they meet the SMART criteria.
Thus they must be specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-Bound.
