Hi Like that. Similar issues in UK.

# Background When tagging a school, as per the current documentation, ideally the amenity=school tag is applied to the school grounds, implying its landuse. This works fine for single schools that have their own building, on their own grounds. However, in many countries schools can share a common campus. To facilitate mapping these, the landuse=school proposal was drafted: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/landuse%3Dschool This allows the mapper to tag the shared grounds as landuse=school, and place the separate schools as nodes or buildings tagged with amenity=school within. This approach appears to be used quite a lot in France. One example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/619185410 As you can see, Carto-OSM refuses to render landuse=school for now: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/3381.-- The French OpenStreetMap rendering meanwhile does render it: https://tile.openstreetmap.fr/?layers=B00000000FFFFFF&zoom=18&lat=48.94156&lon=2.36763 Effectively, this means French mappers utilize landuse=school, while the rest won't for lack of documentation and progress on the proposal. # Proposal I've encountered a number of cases where multiple institutions related to education share a single campus or area. I'm missing a suitable tag for shared grounds or campuses (which often have their own name). A common example that is gaining popularity in the Netherlands is having amenity=kindergarten and amenity=school share a building and grounds. Another example is amenity=university sharing a campus with amenity=college and amenity=research_institute. All distinct educational entities on a single named campus. For the former example landuse=school seems suitable, but for the latter a more generic landuse seems desirable. What I want to propose is a landuse=education that can be taken as the most generic form of landuse for educational purposes. This tag is already in use (~500). Here, landuse=education will be similar to how landuse=religious is used for grounds that house multiple amenity=place_of_worship. It can be used for a range for educational amenities, such as school, college, and university. Then, landuse=school (~5000 in use) can be seen as a more specific form of landuse=education. Would such a proposal help move this issue forward? Anything that is missing or glaringly wrong? I'll write up the proposal (subsuming the current landuse=school proposal) and documentation if there is enough support for this.
