[Imports] Uganda Bureau of Statistics educational facilities import

Sat Jan 23 12:08:06 UTC 2016

Hi,

Just a quick one.

Came across some schools with names; Primary School and Secondary School.
This aren't names.

What is best to do, just delete those tags? I would have removed them, If I
was mapping personally. But as this an import, haven't seen anything
related to it on the Wiki.

Best,

- Enock
