Music
Design and Technology
Religious education
Citizenship
ICT


All of the above are included in the UK national curriculum

Health and social care
Travel and Tourism
The Built Environment (construction?)
Media Studies

These are just some of the more popular vocationally related options
taken in schools in the UK, probably different in other countries but I
think you have an issue about priorities and what goes where. For
example, I think more likely schools around the world all teach music
than say image processing separate from art or numerical analysis
separate from math. Same with MFL , but then which language? Certainly
English as a second language is different from English for native
speakers so it doesn't seem very logical to just have languages and then
separate science into a lot of specialist subjects. eg electricity is
part of physics? or maybe electronics as a specific subject.

In religious education. It's not part of every national curriculum but
it is compulsory in the UK, for example.
