Motivation

Starting from Vladimir Alexiev's counter-proposal discussed here, I am proposing to create a property to indicate in which school level a particular subject is taught. This could be well in scope of WikiProject Education, and I think it could help filling the current gaps in modeling school/university curricula here on Wikidata.

The proposal stems from the Wikipedia and the Italian school (Q117279813) project, established in 2020 by Wikimedia Italy to support distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I tried to include in the property proposal template that, for each value, a qualifier country (P17) will be mandatory. For example, stress (Q181767)→primary school in Italy (Q15154585) will have a mandatory qualifier country (P17)Italy (Q38), bourgeoisie (Q52090)→History Curriculum for 7th grade (Q119727801) will have a mandatory qualifier country (P17)Uruguay (Q77), and so on. This will reflect that a given value will be true for a particular country, and will allow for multiple values depending on the country. The main value should be as precise as possible in terms of school level.

 Oppose Given the large number of countries, this property could have up to 200 values on a single item. Better create an external database that we can link to from Wikidata. Dexxor (talk) 09:07, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

 Support It is very important to create a system which allows to associate topics with a wikidata item to school levels. In this way we can monitor content which is essential as OER Open Educational Resource, we can identify content which needs to be properly international and we can highlight knowledge gaps. Having this system on Wikidata allows it to be truly international and to support OER for many nations. We did this work on Wikipedia for Italy (and for South Africa), but it is not scalable. We are now "working" (I'm actually a volunteer in it) for Uruguay and creating a property on Wikidata is an excellent system to develop it for this project and to make it scalable in other countries. --iopensa (talk) 14:08, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
