Right now we have <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dschool">amenity=school</a>, <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dcollege">amenity=college</a> and <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Duniversity">amenity=university</a>. Then we have <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:isced">isced:xxx=value </a> for determining the level of a school by the International Standard Classification of Education.<br>

<br><br>What about the general subject of a school? There are music schools, law schools, medicine schools, and so on. I would describe them in a tag <b>school=*</b>. So we would have school=music, school=law etc..<br>Primary and middle schools that have no specific subject could be school=general.<br>

<br>A university is mapped with a polygon that has amenity=university, but individual buildings could have school tags, like school=law or school=economics.<br><br>This could also be used with:<br><ul><li>driving schools (amenity=school + school=driving instead of amenity=driving_school)</li>

<li>foreign language schools (amenity=school + school=language + language=en;fr;de)</li><li>pottery workshops (amenity=school + school=pottery)</li><li>karate schools (amenity=school + school=sport + sport=karate)</li></ul>

<br>There are a lot of possible values for this tag, some of them are:<br><br>Agriculture, Architecture, Biology, Chemistry, Design, Driving<font><span dir="auto">, Economics, Electronics, Geodesy, Geography, Geology, </span></font>Language, Law, Mathematics, Medicine, Music, Painting, Physics, Sport, etc..<br>

<br>Thanks for your opinions,<br><br>Janko Miheli<span style="max-width:645px;text-align:left" id="gbi4t">ć</span>
