How to Manage Education Levels

Create, edit and delete the top level of your curriculum — and understand what disappears with it.


Education levels sit at the very top of your curriculum. Everything else — groups, subjects, chapters, topics — hangs beneath one of them.

Open Curriculum from the left sidebar under Content, then click the Education Levels tab.

Reading the List

The heading shows how many you have — Education Levels (1) — and the table lists them:

Column What it shows
Name The level's name, such as Job Preparation
Description Your note about what it covers, or a dash if empty
Order The display-order number, shown as a badge
Created The date it was added
Actions A three-dot menu with Edit and Delete

Levels imported from a preset arrive with their description already written — Preset for various job preparation exams in Bangladesh, for example.

Adding a Level

Click + Add Level at the top right to open the Create Education Level dialog. Only Name is required; Description and Display Order are optional.

Editing a Level

Open the three-dot menu on any row and choose Edit to open Edit Education Level. You can change the Name, Description and Order, and here you will also see the level's slug.

The slug is the short machine-readable form of the name — it is what appears in the grey badges on the Groups, Subjects and Chapters tabs to show which level something belongs to. It must be plain English letters, or you will see Please enter a valid English slug.

Save to get Education level updated successfully.

Renaming a level is safe — everything beneath it stays attached. Changing its slug changes the badges shown throughout the curriculum tabs, so only do it if the current one is genuinely wrong.


Deleting a Level

Choose Delete from the three-dot menu. Course37 first loads everything that depends on this level and shows it to you, because deleting a level also deletes its groups — and, through them, the subjects, chapters and topics beneath.

When it finishes you are told exactly what went: Job Preparation and 4 associated group(s) deleted successfully.

Questions in your question bank are tagged to subjects, chapters and topics. Removing a populated level therefore affects those questions and any exam built from them. Check what is underneath before deleting.


A Faster Way to Start

If you teach a standard curriculum, do not create levels one at a time. Click Import Curriculum at the top of the page and choose a preset — it creates the level along with its groups, subjects, chapters and topics in one step.
