As it says, you can't append to a dict, append is for lists, typically. It's not clear what your target data structure is here. If you do want a list of students, change the first line to
students = []. If you want a dictionary of students that you can retrieve by student ID, I would replace the body of add_student with students[id] = name.

You can resolve the error by changing your data type to be something that has an append method, or changing your method to be something that exists in a dict.
