Section

A Section divides a class into smaller groups (e.g., Section A, Section B, Science Section). Sections are assigned to classes during class creation and are essential for organizing students, assigning teachers, and managing timetables.

Set up Sections early

Sections must exist before you can create Classes. Each Class requires at least one Section.
