Here in Australia, "college" usually refers to "university", but I know of a number of "schools", that are named College, that cover Prep (Pre-school / Year 0) through to Year 12. In one case, the school is spread over 3 separate parcels of land, for Prep-6, 7-9 & 10-12! How do you tag that? I'd much prefer something like 'landuse=education education=secondary'. > We can dispute the precise tagging, but 'college' is just too > overloaded. > I agree landuse=education education=preschool (? - should that be included in primary?) / primary / secondary / tertiary (& possibly post-grad ?) Wouldn't that cover all options, fairly neatly? In the case I mentioned above, it would still be named College, but the three areas would be =primary, =secondary & =secondary Thanks Graeme
