French term

EVA

French to English Medical Education / Pedagogy Class abbreviation on a high schol transcript
This acronym - EVA - is a class on a high school transcript from Cameroon. It's grouped in the Matières de Formation Humaine section along with PE and computers. Since Cameroon focuses on HIV/AIDES education, I thought it may be an acronym for Educations de virus de l'immunodéficience humaine et d'AIDES. Any suggestions? Merci en avance.
