goal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'objective' is the definition.
(goal can mean an objective or purpose)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for goal that I've seen before include "Aim - two posts, a crossbar and a net" , "End" , "Soccer achievement" , "could be worth 3 points" , "Something to be achieved" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
