In my country I don't recall it being a thing... My grandmother told me about wo
rkshop classes, but it was back in COCOM times, shortly after establishing it.
I had no real workshop class, the most workshop-like thing was making an origami
swan (at home, because base curriculum is too stuffed to do it at home).
Maybe MS Office on IT classes in high school was anyhow useful, but only because
we had an IT professional as a teacher, who did care and knew a lot about compu
ters, not only IBM PCs. I wouldn't be surprised if she had sent a few messages o
n Fidonet when BBSes were more common.
Before, in primary and secondary, it was just Paint or making a shitty presentat
ion in PowerPoint with a lot of animations.
