Identify whether the following learner's goal is short-, medium-, or long-term. Give a reason for your answer. Lindiwe is in Grade 11. She aims to be the matron at a hospital.

This learner's goal is long-term. Becoming a matron at a hospital typically requires several years of education and experience in the healthcare field. Since Lindiwe is currently in Grade 11, she still has to complete high school, pursue further education in nursing or healthcare management, gain work experience, and potentially pursue additional certifications or degrees before achieving her goal of becoming a matron. This process is likely to take several years, making it a long-term goal.

Long-term goal. It will take more than a year for her to complete her training as a nurse and to gain enough experience to become a matron.
