Have a look at the rendered html, for example using your browsers inspect context menu option. I think you could see there that there is a problem with the double quotes you use.

The onclick-attribute is enclosed by double quotes, but the message passed as argument to confirm() is also enclosed by double quotes. This results in your browser interpreting the attribute as `onclick=”return confirm(” and ignores the gibberish it cannot understand which is your message.

You can fix that by using single quotes to enclose the message argument to confirm(), either by escaping them in the syntax you used (\'), or by using triple quotes like this:

template_code = '''
<a href="/schedule/update_schedule/{{ record.id }}">Update</a> / Cancel / Event /
<a href="/schedule/delete_schedule/{{ record.id }}" 
    onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this?')">Delete</a>'''
