Part 1: Thematic Mapping

Distribution of public education institution by school types

First, I loaded the Coastal Outline and MP14 PLNG AREA NO SEA PL into QGIS, to serve as the base layer.

Next, I used MMQGIS > Geocode CSV with Web Service > General information of schools > Set Address as Address

Finally, Symbology > Categorized by mainlevel_ , Classify > then select SVG Marker Symbols.

I chose P for Primary, a Baby Symbol for Secondary, a Graduation Hat for Mixed Level, a ABC board for Junior College and a Stack of Books for
Centralised Institute.
