To map elements related to education, the following must be taken into account:
- Names should not use abbreviations (tag
name=*
). Many schools are called IE or IED, but they must be added as "Institución Educativa" or "Institución Educativa Distrital", respectively.
- The type of
amenity=*
that can be:amenity=kindergarten
.amenity=school
for a school (escuela or colegio).amenity=college
for a technical institute.amenity=university
for a university.
- The educational levels of the aforementioned amenities are defined by the tag
isced:level=*
together with a numerical value. Later in this article a correspondence with educational levels in Colombia is shown. Keep in mind that this correspondence is generic, and does not indicate the grades as such. - To indicate which grades an educational institution offers, the tag
grades=*
is used. - Depending on who the operator is, and their social objective can be mapped like this:
- Public:
operator:type=public
. - Private:
operator:type=private
. - Religious group (for example, Carmelite sisters):
operator:type=religious
. - Non-governmental organization - Entidad Sin Ánimo de Lucro (ESAL):
operator:type=ngo
.
- Public:
- To indicate the name of the operator, the tag
operator=*
is used. - Some establishments can set age ranges, so you can use:
min_age=*
andmax_age=*
. - Schools have two types of calendars A and B, which can be mapped with:
service_times:ref:CO=A
orservice_times:ref:CO=B
.- Optionally you can put the months that define the calendar (although this can vary from year to year): For calendar A -
service_times=Feb-Nov; SH closed
, and for calendar B -service_times=Sep-Jun; SH closed
.
- Optionally you can put the months that define the calendar (although this can vary from year to year): For calendar A -
