Q1) Thematic Mapping
Q1a) Using school information from data.gov.sg, prepare a thematic map showing the distribution of public education institution by school types such as primary, secondary, etc.
I chose to give the same color to all the school types to signify equal importance between them, as someone that is searching for this information might be parents with child, who are looking for areas to start their family. To further enhance this map, I split the area by region, so viewers can easily visualize where education clusters are. For example, we can see that the north region is lacking as compared to the other regions I chose pastel colors as it is light on the viewer's eyes, as well as enabling the red points to stand out.
