Polish term or phrase: zajęcia praktyczno-techniczne
"Zajęcia, podczas których najczęściej dochodzi do wypadków w szkole: wychowanie fizyczne, zajęcia praktyczno-techniczne, praktyczna nauka zawodu." Tekst to raport ze statystykami dot. bezpieczeństwa dzieci i młodzieży.
Dziewczęcą wersję ZPT tłumaczy można by jako Home Economics, ale co z chłopięcą (heble itp.?)
Nazwę przedmiotu, słynnego ZPT, na pewno wielu z Was tłumaczyło, więc proszę o szybką pomoc.
A jeśli ktoś od razu zaproponuje tłumaczenie dla praktycznej nauki zawodu (głównie występuje mi w kategorii zasadniczych szkół zawodowych), to będę tym bardziej wdzięczna.

Industrial Arts is an umbrella term originally conceived in the late 19th century to describe educational programs which featured fabrication of objects in wood and/or metal using a variety of hand, power, or machine tools. Many also cover topics such as small engine repair and automobile maintenance, and all programs usually cover technical drawings—one or two semesters—as part of the curricula. Used as a definite educational term industrial arts dates from 1904 when Charles R. Richards of Teachers College, Columbia University, New York suggested to replace the phrase manual training.
In the United States Industrial Arts classes are colloquially known as "shop class"; these programs expose children to the basics of home repair, manual craftsmanship, and machine safety. Most Industrial Arts programs were established in comprehensive rather than dedicated vocational schools and focused on a broad range of skills rather than on a specific vocational training.

Thank you for all answers, each of them is useful to describe this type of class in different contexts. I've chosen "home economics and industrial arts class" to cover both girls' and boys' classes in Polish schools. DT would be useful as well, I only don't want to repeat "and" in a single line of a statistical table or graph.

workshop classes


Explanation:
IMO,
ja się spotkałam z takim właśnie określeniem. A według słownika Merriam Webster, jedna z definicji "workshop" brzmi "a class or series of classes in which a small group of people learn the methods and skills used in doing something"
