  • The type of amenity=* that can be:
  • 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.
    • The establishments with the name "Education Centers" normally have courses from 1 to 9: grades=1-9.
    • The establishments with the name "Educational Institution" usually have courses from 1 to 11: grades=1-11.
  • Depending on who the operator is, and their social objective can be mapped like this:
  • To indicate the name of the operator, the tag operator=* is used.
  • Some establishments can set age ranges, so you can use: min_age=* and max_age=*.
  • Schools have two types of calendars A and B, which can be mapped with: service_times:ref:CO=A or service_times:ref:CO=B.
