Hi:
Although those names as "Primary School" and similar aren't mentioned in
the workflow wiki, it says that "In case of doubt, we won't make any
change to the name and we will leave a fixme="Please check the name
correctness" tag and a remark on the comments box of the task when we
mark it as done in the Tasking Manager". You can find that in step 2 of
the "Importing the educational facilities" section [1].
Those names are clearly not complete. But at least we should keep the
info they provide (it's a primary, or secondary, or nursery, etc.). The
fixme tag points users to what has to be fixed. Many schools are named
after the place (village, town...) where they are located, like Ayaa
Primary School for example.
Cheers,
Rafael.
