How does this "Education Portal" work with the new "University Portal" ?

I see a problem is that this Education Portal is not well described, so the sub project linking has been without direction or indexing.

Can we perhaps make more appropriate subportals, or which Universities is one, but other education topics are addressed as well?

We definitely do not want to delete this project. It should be the master portal for everything education-related, and then we can work down geographically from there -- the way we already have been doing, just without advertising it on the index I guess. Our bad!

Doing it thematically by university vs. college vs. primary etc. isn't very genealogically useful because that isn't how research is typically conducted. We research based on where and how records are maintained per national custom or law.

You don't answer the question "How do I find my great-grandfather's yearbook?" by asking "Did he attend a university or a college?" You answer it by asking "Which state was that institution in?", because that's which state library will have a copy. (U.S.-specific example, but you get the idea.)

I think the University Portal looks fantastic, but it's more oriented towards presenting information to a general audience and not to a genealogical one, if that makes sense. Genealogy research always ends up localized, so let's stick with the localization idea. My two cents.
