What this table cannot tell you It cannot tell you how many pupils, how many beds or how many staff. The Village Directory carries a count column for schools and health centres only, and for Gorasu the health-centre staffing columns are present and printed on the healthcare page.

The source leaves middle school unrecorded for this village, so those cells print a dash and not a zero.
