Good morning!

I'm about to add primary schools in northern Kenya from the data available
at https://www.opendata.go.ke/Education/Kenya-Schools/uxxq-hjz6, starting
with Marsabit County (previously Marsabit & Moyale Districts).

There are lots of details about each school available and I'm wondering
what to keep and what tags to use:

   - *isced:level*=1 for primary schools, isced:level=3 for secondary
   schools
   - *Status of school*: Private or Public
   - *Sponsor of school*: Religious Organization, Central
   Government, Private Individual/Organization. Both public and private
   schools can be sponsored by regligious organizations for example.
   - *gender*=male|female|mixed (boys, girls, mixed)
   - *Day or Boarding*: day only, day & boarding, boarding
   - *School Institution Type*: Ordinary, Special School, Integrated
   - Number of *classrooms*
   - Boys/Girls/Teachers *toilets*
   - *Enrolment *(=capacity?)
   - Number of *teachers *(male, female, total)
   - *is_in*: province, district, division, location, constituency
   (although this is now deprecated for a new administration with county,
   constituency, ward).


Which details should be added? What tags should be used?

The data is from 2007, so of course some details like enrolment, number of
teachers, number of toilets and classrooms, might have changed.

Cheers,
Daniel Westergren
