Academics
This term is from an academic transcript (University level) from Peru. This term appears in a list of subjects or courses that the student has completed.
Were it at the primary level I would call this "Arts and Crafts".
"Vocational Studies" perhaps?
I believe the Ecuadorian equivalent is "manualidades".
There is no real context to give other than to mention that this is without a doubt the name of a course.

Plus it is equally vague in both languages, and therefore a precise translation.

Comment: "Your suggestion was the way to go. After further reflexion, "Arts and Crafts" did not fit. "

I would leave it like that, in Argentina we had Actividades prácticas which involved everything we did with our hands, from sewing, knitting, works with wood, etc. Hope it helps.
