fagligt tema

English translation: vocational subject

Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy
Danish term or phrase: fagligt tema
This appears in a document from the Danish Ministry of Education about FGU education.

It is used together with almene fag (general subjects).
My understanding is that almene fag are the overarching subjects (maths, science, home economics, etc)
While faglige temaer refer to specific topics (i.e. trigonometry, subdivision, etc)

What I want to know is if anyone with more experience of the Danish school system can confirm this for me and if anyone can suggest a good English term for this. I have seen "academic topics" and "subject topics" used but I feel a little uncertain.

Some context from the doc:
Undervisningen i almene fag og faglige temaer skal være tæt koblet til praksis i den almene grunduddannelse, produktion i produktionsgrunduddannelsen og praktik i erhvervsgrunduddannelsen.

Gennem arbejdet med helheden og delene arbejder eleverne derfor med læringsmålene fra de almene fag og faglige temaer, som de har på FGU, og som findes i lærerplanerne for de almene fag og fagbilagene for de faglige temaer.

Thanks!
