History

The tag education= has been used in several ways, none of which are very common:

  1. A primary or secondary school (pupils typically aged 6 to 18). In this case the tag amenity=school is much more common, and is usually added as well. This has mostly been used in Russia: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/14fR
  2. To specify the type of education building feature, e.g. building=education or building=yes plus education=. However it is much more common to use building=school for a building that was designed to hold primary or secondary school classrooms. This has been used in Cameroon and several other places: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/14fQ
  3. To specify a damaged or destroyed school building. This has been used in Bengaledesh: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/14fq
  4. Combined with other types of education or training tags, e.g amenity=kindergarten or amenity=training - this was mostly used in southern Russia: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/14fr
