yes, I agree. What I meant was: to tag an university the current tag is
easy: use one tag amenity=university and you're done and seeing it you can
be sure that the tag describes an university or is misplaced. No need to
specify: research_institution=yes, educational_institution=yes,
educational_level=4+5 etc.,
Now if you want to map something that isn't actually an university or a
college then you'll have to invent something new for this. duck tagging. A
goose is not a duck ;-) Back to your "higher schools in Poland", I guess
they are not universities, unless they also do research, while for college
I am not sure.

Cheers,
Martin
