There is the problem, not all educational institutions in country are
the same. Even in countries that have very strict standards there are a
lot of institutions that do not fit in current system. Some has
specialities, some provide special education for people with
disabilities, some provide flexible schedule for people to combine work
and studies, some does not. This proposal tries to put such various
information in the neat system as other advanced tagging systems like
social_facility and boundary=protected_area have done.
Details like education programs are optional but could be useful for
data consumers. This all similar to power=* group of tags, there are a
lot of details in this system, that could be interesting only to a small
group of enthusiasts and even lesser group of consumers, the same goes
for OpenRailwayMap tags. But we still have them. Do we need such details
in DB? Let mappers decide.

I wouldn't go that far, but I assume that in 1 country the majority of
driving schools have the same system: begin course based, and with a
parttime-regime and you can get all common driver licenses.
So for some uses amenity=driving_school is more than sufficient. I
understand that when you want to write a world-wide GIS application,
you want more structure. You might want to find all course-based
institutions.
But do we need to place this in OSM ? Should we repeat the same tags
for every driving school in a country over and over again ? Can't that
be added by the data consumer ?
Can't we keep some of the complexity out of OSM and move it a another
database ? In this case a dedicated database that can answer all
possible questions about schools. Such a database can even be
targetted to 1 country and have a specific structure for that country.
The main problem is navigation vs. GIS applications For navigation a
broad category is sufficient. When you have to drive to a kindergarten
you don't care about the religion, you should need it's address (or
coordinates).
I have a hard time to explain what I really mean, but when I am abroad
and I look a a supermarket, I don't know what I can expect there
neither: do they sell fresh meat or only prepacked, is it a discount
supermarket, is there a service to help me choosing fish, will there
be a wine department, etc.
Still we have only 1 tag for that in osm: shop=supermarket and don't
require mappers to add tags that are obvious for them. They know what
they can expect when they see a supermarket of brand X.
But for schools (where OSM will be used much less to make a choice),
we require all kinds of additional tags which makes it harder to map ?
Feel free to continue your proposal, I won't vote anyhow. And keep on
using amenity=driving_school. :-)

You can probably have tags amenity=driving_school_category_b,
amenity=dancing_teaching_center and other purely descriptional tags and it
would be a mess and headache to sort and retrieve information. IMHO, it is
much better to have alternative advanced tagging system from which data
users can benefit much (e.g. search by school's speciality).

but then you should clearly explain why 5 "complex" tags for a driving
school is better than 1.
And in case you do not really need them all five, the proposal should
better indicate the required tags for a driving school and the
optional ones. I think "education_system:de_standard=yes",
"education_form:parttime=yes" and
"education_program:driving_licence:eu_b=yes" are optional. This would
simplify the tagging dramatically, not ?
I see a lot of similarity with healthcare 2.0, similar possibilities,
similar complexity, and ... similar adoption rate ??

Well, I (or anyone else) can not just force mappers to use or not to use
certain tags. Only way to deal with it is to give them better way to tag
things. That's what this proposal is about.

I cannot advise on that. Not everybody is giving the same weight to
the approval process. A usage of 7681 for amenity=driving school is
not something that can be neglected IMHO, even when it's not approved
(given they were not all imported by 1 person).
