I’ve made a page for key:educational now, so it will be documented,
since it’s been added to 17 routes in the past 14 months.
Best to give a link to the page. Too new to find it yet.
I think the key:educational maybe better used later for schools,
colleges, cram schools etc.

I think the above wiki page gives some better information on values
rather than 'yes'.
e.g.
route:educational=nature/plants/geology/geography/sight/astronomy/wildlife/language/cultural
might be better values..
Personally I'd use the description key as that already exists and is
adaptable to any route.

It is obviously something mappers want to indicate. If it has no
documentation then it will get used in lots of different ways ..
not all of them that useful.
As this is the only documentation for it I think OSM would loose
information from its removal.
route:educational=yes could be a better tag?
I prefer trying to make good tags that people can use, even of the
use is low, as good tags are better than poor tags.
