[HOT] Tagging schools in Kenya

[Daniel Westergren]

@Kate: Yeah, I've read the import guidelines and been chatting quite a bit
with Andrew Buck and Mikel Maron. I have imported the csv to JOSM, added
all those schools to the TODO List, and imported [amenity=school] to see
what's already there (which is almost nothing). I'm then planning to use
the TODO List to go through each school to confirm and edit tags, before
uploading.

So it's not as much of an import only, but using the geolocations from
OpenDataKE to find the schools on the Bing sat imagery.

@Nama: Thanks! That's very helpful. Are those tags used anywhere outside of
this project? On
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/ISCED it's
proposed to use  numeric values for the levels of education, but you are
using primary, secondary etc. Which is more recognized? For some reason the
French school levels are in the HOT preset for JOSM though.

In the HOT preset there is also "capacity", but you are
using student:count.

For the case of Kenya, there are two kinds of "operator type". One is
public or private, the other who the sponsor of the school is. Should I use
operator type public/private and then another tag for sponsor?

What about boys/girls/mixed and day/boarding/day & boarding ? It feels like
good data to add, but there doesn't seem to be any tags that have
previously been used for thi.

Cheers,
Daniel
