It is a term that appears on a grade report as w.o. and then under it 'verkeer'. I would appreciate some suggestion as what would be a suitable translation into English of "werkelijkheidsonderricht" on a 6 grade report card.

Life Skills Training
'Werkelikheid' means 'reality' or 'life', 'onderricht' means 'teaching' or by logical extension 'training'. With the help of Google, I looked for the closest fit in English. When I was at school, we had a class called 'Preparation for Life', but I think 'Life Skills Training' is more up-to-date.
Example sentence:
Het werkelijkheidsonderricht gaat uit van en steunt op de belangstelling van de kinderen
What the shift to social and life skills training indicates, therefore, is that the more person-centred and critical goals and methods of traditional youth work are now seriously at risk.
