Thank you Serge and Piere, 

You are right, sorry if i seemed subjective, i had also agreed with Martin to map everything that is of someone's interest. And the wiki is there for every one to look for features that are of interest to them, "like the young German contributor whom Serge mentioned"

Serge also says "I don't care that much about schools- I'm not a student nor do I have
children."
Am not looking at students or parents, but i presume there might be Public/Government organisations  that might wish to use the OSM platform to monitor and manage Education, or an international organisation like UNICEF.

Am not a doctor neither, but i think the World Health Organisation could pick an interest in managing health facilities.
The German contributor could have his/her information liked by the German Electricity board, and they can release data (shapefiles) to upload to OSM. The examples are endless, and i believe every OSM contributor is doing a good thing with whatever edits they are making.

As i had mentioned just wanted to get different ideas on this thread, from the list about all that is worthy of mapping, and glad that i got (and that am getting) the answers .
