Albanian Education Facilities from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports of education facilities in Albania, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data via volunteer mapping, with the export last updated on 2026-05-10. Data completeness likely varies between urban and remote areas.

Use Cases

• Map school accessibility based on facility locations mentioned in the description
• Plan education resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and universities
• Analyze the density of educational amenities for urban planning purposes

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON)
• Explicitly includes several facility types: schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities
• Sourced from a well-known collaborative mapping project (OpenStreetMap)

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to OpenStreetMap's volunteer-driven coverage
