However, tags like amenity=school and amenity=university are so widely used
that upward compatibility would be lost
after changing them into education=school and education=university.

We have a great deal of needs in distinguishing unofficial educational
facilities such as cram schools, vocational training centers and cooking
classes
from official educational ones(schools,universities,...). Also, there will
be a positive effect if we can separate them from facilities which should
be
office=educational_institute and cannnot be used by students(like
educational comittees, headquarter offices for educational companies and so
on).

I think that our discussion about these tagging schemes is in very slow
progress. In my opinion, a proposal on a new tag like
amenity=educational_services
is more effective rather than shifting to educational=* tagging schemes.
