June marks the start of the school season for the Philippines.

Let's map schools within your neighborhood.  Add a node, a polygon or
map it in extreme micro detail!

Tag a school according to grade levels:

amenity=kindergarten # pre-school or nursery school
amenity=school # grade school, primary school, secondary school or
default for other schools
amenity=college # Post-secondary, technical and applied education
amenity=university # Post-secondary, graduate education

If you are providing a building outline, remember to tag it
building=yes

Is there a sport field as well?
leisure=pitch
sport=multi

Perhaps a running track?
highway=track

Make the streets school-friendly.

Add the pedestrian crossings [1 and 2]
highway=crossing

Speed limit [3]
maxspeed=20
