Academic wording

Rename Class, Section and Subject to whatever your market calls them. This is what lets you sell the same system to a CBSE school, a British international school and a college.

Sidebar → Settings → Academic Wording

What it changes — and what it does not

It renames exactly three words

Class, Section and Subject. Nothing else.

Student, Teacher, Parent, Exam, Fee and every other word stay as they are. This is deliberate — a system that lets you rename everything ends up with sentences that no longer make sense in any language.

So a college sees "Course", "Batch" and "Module" throughout the panel and the apps, while still saying Student and Teacher.

The ready-made presets

Preset	Class →	Section →	Subject →
Indian / CBSE (default)	Class	Section	Subject
British / International	Year	Form	Subject
American	Grade	Section	Course
CBC (Kenya)	Grade	Stream	Learning Area
College / Higher Ed	Course	Batch	Module

Or type your own words — up to 30 characters each, so they still fit in a sidebar.

Off by default

The whole feature starts switched off, and while it is off every screen shows the standard English words.

Turn it on only when you actually need different wording. Leaving it off is not a limitation — it is the correct setting for most Indian installations.

Platform default, school override

Three layers, each beating the one before:

So you pick a sensible default for your market, and an individual school can differ without affecting anyone else. A school that sets nothing simply inherits yours.

This is a genuine sales argument

Competing systems are usually built for one country's vocabulary. Being able to show a Kenyan school "Grade / Stream / Learning Area" and a college "Course / Batch / Module" — in their own demo, in minutes — is worth more than a feature list.

Set it per school during a demo and let them see their own words.

The apps follow too

The mobile apps read the wording from the server, so parents and teachers see the same vocabulary as the panel. Nothing needs rebuilding or republishing.

After changing it

Wording is cached for speed. A change should appear immediately because saving clears the cache — but if a screen still shows the old word, clear the caches from Server Health.

Common questions

Can I rename "Student"? No, and it is not an oversight — see the warning above.

Will it change data already entered? No. It changes labels, not records. A class named "Class 5" keeps that name; only the word describing what it is changes.

Can two schools use different wording at once? Yes. That is the point of the school override.

Does it translate the whole system? No — this is vocabulary, not translation.
