I guess the issue at hand is use of terms, and this varies from country to country. In Nigeria, we call it session and not section. One education session for primary and secondary schools is approximately one education calendar year, comprising 3 terms, 1st, 2nd and 3rd term. Tertiary use a different arrangement.
With this ambiguity of terms taken care of, the solution i can suggest is to create special duration for each program a training school offers, assign calendar to them, and assign teachers to each training program. The training school have programs they offer in specific time slots, already, all the training program offering for 2010, should by now be known, so you can delineate based on time the programs are available, know that time is the crucial thing, a teacher cannot be assigned two classes at the same time on the same day. Well... I need to simulate this in a typical schooltool environment and see how it comes out.

Shallow opinions I do have, but "thoughts" are only after I know the tool:) I can describe our case, to add to the question (but not answer). In our case, the sections are identified by the location, they always gather together in the same room. But a teacher is a bad identifier of a section, because we often have many teachers teaching the same course for the same section, up to five. Thus here the section names are very long. In case they are identified by room, both teachers and students would be pleased. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~schooltoolers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~schooltoolers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
