Angolan Education Facilities from OpenStreetMap, Including Schools and Universities

OpenStreetMap exports of education facilities across Angola, tagged by volunteers. The data includes schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities identified via the `amenity` or `building` tags. It was last updated on 2026-05 10 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and is useful for mapping and planning.

Use Cases

• Mapping school access and proximity based on geospatial facility locations
• Planning education resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and universities
• Analyzing regional education infrastructure density from volunteer-mapped points

Strengths

• Data is derived from a widely-used, free, and collaborative global mapping source (OpenStreetMap)
• Covers multiple facility types: schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON)

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, remote areas may be incomplete
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
