Subjects of general benefit (or usefulness) Explanation: Γενική παιδεία = General education Μαθήματα γενικής ωφελιμότητας = Subjects of general benefit (or usefulness) A general education is a program that provides a wide range of courses in the arts and sciences to give the students a better educational experience. The courses, sometimes only basic or introductory, provide fundamental skills in areas such as Math, English, and the Social Sciences. However, many educational institutions categorise the types of courses included in their general education curriculum and the categories of the courses offered in a general education curriculum usually differ from country to country and/or from institution to institution. Your text separates general education subjects into two categories: 1. General education subjects: religion, physical education, foreign language, philosophy, etc 2. Subjects of general benefit (or usefulness): modern Greek language and grammar, applied economics, sociology, environment and health, etc.) See also: http://www.sinclair.edu/about/learning/gened/wge/ https://my.illinois.edu/uPortal/render.userLayoutRootNode.uP... http://www.leeds.ac.uk/educol/documents/00001195.htm http://www.hss.cmu.edu/gened/gened-category.asp http://www.generaleducation.fas.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keywo... http://dornsife.usc.edu/general-education-program/ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2013-08-02 06:39:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- We usually call μαθήματα (in this context) subjects, in English. The Oxford Greek to English dictionary gives the alternative meanings of μάθημα to be (1) lesson, homework; (2) class [as in, when does the next class begin?]; (3) Subject [as in, history is my favourite subject].
