Home Economics


Explanation:
Depende de los contenidos del curso. En un colegio de E.E.U.U. donde estuve hace muuuuucho, la materia más parecida a "Educación para el Hogar" era "Home Economics".

Mira esta definición:

Family and consumer sciences, or home economics, is an academic discipline which combines aspects of consumer science, nutrition, cooking, parenting and human development, interior decoration, textiles, gardening, and other subjects related to home management.

Suerte!
