but the basics are disappointing: position can be a couple
Converting them sounds good to me.
It the southern part of the country I've added a considerable number of
settlements and the schools were useful in identifying places where the
larger villages were likely to be so ut should be easier for someone local

Thanks John

Yes, it is correct there should likely be residential areas nearby,
maybe a few km for some of them. My point was that simply doing an
"inside" query is not enough. I don't know that overpass is capable of
returning schools that are *not* nearby residential areas, only inside.
You can
But it does identify locations where there should be say 100 people living
within walking distance.
I'm using search in JOSM currently and there are a fair number of villages
I've picked up by zooming into locations that have a school but the rest of
the map is totally blank.

This won't actually give you useful data. A signifigant number of the
schools in Mali and elsewhere in Africa are not actually located in the
town they serve, but rather about 1/2 km or so outside of the town, or
about halfway between two or more towns. So a significant number
