Three approaches have been followed to identify where the subject terms commonly used in secondary schools might differ significantly from those we use here at VUW:
...
Allowing for areas that VUW does not profess to cover teach, the main weak area to work on labelling/mapping is that of digital technologies.
Each school subject is followed by the suggested Victoria subject for a keyword mapping:

Subject and standard mapping
Although the list of all standards is exhaustive (over 45,000 there are only a few areas where the subjects appear to be mismatched to those we offer, mainly in the digital technologies area.
