Motivation

There are over 11,000 schools managed by the National Department of Education for Papua New Guinea and they have a 5 character code that has been used to uniquely identify them. There are a significant number of schools that have name collisions. The Ministry has various datasets that reference a persistent school code. The "wheres-my-school" data is from the previous decade but other reports can supplement these records. Started by wanting to use the PacificData to look at a single province but worth solving for the country.
