Django view function
The if conditions can be simplified.

fpv_list = [ item.partition("_") for item in request.POST.iteritems() ]
deletes = [ v for f,p,v in fpv_list if f == 'delete' ]
for education_id in deletes:
    whatever

edits = [ v for f,p,v in fpv_list if f == 'edit' ]  
for education_id in edits:
    whatever


This removes the dependence on knowing the length of 'delete' and the length of 'edit' prefixes on the  buttons.
