Best to give a link to the page. Too new to find it yet.

I think the key:educational maybe better used later for schools, 
colleges, cram schools etc.


https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:board_type

I think the above wiki page gives some better information on values 
rather than 'yes'.

e.g. 
route:educational=nature/plants/geology/geography/sight/astronomy/wildlife/language/cultural 
might be better values..

Personally I'd use the description key as that already exists and is 
adaptable to any route.
