Trying to update user information from 2 forms in Django

So I have a student model which inherits from AbstractUser. I used 2 forms in one view for registration since I needed email, name and surname to be in my student database (as well as other fields). Now I'm trying to make an update profile view, with 2 forms that I made especially for updating the info. But I think I'm getting it wrong.. might need a little help here. I need the student to be able to update his email (which is from User model) and his photo, phone, name and surname (which are in Student model).

<form method="POST" action="{% url 'profile_edit' %}" class="" >
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.as_p }}
    <button type="submit">Save</button>
</form>
def profile_edit(request):
    user = request.user
    form1 = UserEditForm(request.POST or None, initial={'email': user.email,
                                                        })
    form2 = StudentEditForm(request.POST or None, initial={'name': user.student.name,
                                                           'surname': user.student.surname,
                                                           'phone': user.student.phone,
                                                           'photo': user.student.photo})
    if request.method == 'POST':
        if form1.is_valid() and form2.is_valid():
            user.email = request.POST['name']
            user.student.name = request.POST['name']
            user.student.surname = request.POST['surname']
            user.student.phone = request.POST['phone']
            user.student.photo = request.POST['photo']
            user.save()
            return render(request, 'index.html')
    context = {
        "form1": form1,
        "form2": form2
    }
    return render(request, "registration/profile_edit.html", context)
class UserForm(forms.ModelForm):
    email = forms.EmailField(required=True)
    password = forms.CharField(label='Password', max_length=32, required=True, widget=forms.PasswordInput)
    confirm_password = forms.CharField(label='Confirm', max_length=32, required=True, widget=forms.PasswordInput,
                                       help_text="Passwords must match!")

class StudentForm(forms.ModelForm):
    name = forms.CharField(max_length=30, required=True)
    surname = forms.CharField(max_length=50, required=True)
    student_ID = forms.CharField(required=True, max_length=14, min_length=14)
    photo = forms.ImageField(required=True)
    phone = forms.CharField(max_length=15, required=True)

    class Meta:
        model = Student
        fields = ('name', 'surname', 'phone', 'student_ID', 'photo')


class UserEditForm(forms.ModelForm):
    email = forms.EmailField(required=False)

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ('email',)


class StudentEditForm(forms.ModelForm):
    name = forms.CharField(max_length=30)
    surname = forms.CharField(max_length=50)
    photo = forms.ImageField(required=False)
    phone = forms.CharField(max_length=15, required=False)

    class Meta:
        model = Student
        fields = ('name', 'surname', 'phone', 'photo')

Problem is that I am getting no form, so I am either doing something wrong in the view, either the forms.

You don't need two forms. I have answered your previous question which led to this question.

It will save you from a lot of unnecessary Code.

<form method="POST" action="{% url 'profile_edit' %}" class="" >
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form1.as_p }}
    {{ form2.as_p }}
    <button type="submit">Save</button>
</form>

according to your context the names of your forms are form1 and form2, so form only wont display any form
