When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Hello Sagitario14:
You ask for the translation of the English term “provided” to Spanish in the context of: “XX is the Chief Executive of Media Design School. She has provided the long-term direction for the development of the school and its programmes as well as ensuring the continuation of innovation and excellence that has shaped Media Design School into the world-class institute it is today.”
ANALYSIS
We know that the term “provided” is Preterite and Past Participe of the verb “provide”.
Really in your case we have to take together: “She has provided…” and this conjugation is 3r person of singular of the Present Perfect of the verb “provide”.
One of the meanings of verb “provide” is: “(in statutes, documents, etc) to determine (what is to happen in certain contingencies), esp by including a proviso condition.”
URL: http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/provide
This means that “to provide” is to determine/stipulate/specify especially the conditions that something will work in one or other direction.
In your case, the context says: “She has provided the long-term direction for the development of the school…”
And who is “She”? She is XX, the Chief Executive of Media Design School. In other words, XX is the CEO of the Media Design School.
We know that in companies and other organizations, the CEOs provide the long-term direction for the development of the business and the company/organization/institution.
Here, I would to share with you a definition about CEO. Investopedia says that the CEO is: “The highest ranking executive in a company, whose main responsibilities include developing and implementing high-level strategies, making major corporate decisions, managing the overall operations and resources of a company, and acting as the main point of communication between the board of directors and the corporate operations. The CEO will often have a position on the board, and in some cases is even the chair.”
URL: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/ceo.asp#ixzz2GNejwdUR
As we read, Investopedia remarks that the CEO works in the development and implemention of the high-level strategies...
Through the knowledge of the role and function of the CEO, we can understand that is normal that XX, the Chief Executive (CEO) of Media Design School, “has provided the long-term direction for the development of the school…”
The previous statement is the key element to determine how we have to translate the verb “provide” or better the verb “has provided” to Spanish.
English verb “provide” = in Spanish “proveer”, “estipular”, “proporcionar”, “suministrar”, “facilitar”…
In your case, XX as a CEO of the school was the responsible to “provide” or “stipulate” the long-term direction for the development of the school…” This implies that XX has provided the “stipulation” or the “set of conditions” to develop the school in one or other direction.
For this reason, we think that we can translate the original English context: “She has provided the long-term direction for the development of the school…” in this way: “Ella ha provisto (participio pasivo del verbo proveer) la dirección a largo plazo para el desarrollo de la Escuela…”
In this case, the term “la dirección” means “en que dirección la escuela se desarrollará y avanzará…” (Classic function of a Chief Executive).
MY SUGGESTION:
- “(Ella ha) provisto (la dirección a largo plazo para el desarrollo de la Escuela…)”
I hope this proposal helps you in your work.
Regards
Domingo
