Education Facilities in Argentina from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data on education facilities across Argentina, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities. The dataset is exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated on 2026-05-13. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Map school access and catchment areas based on facility locations.
• Plan education infrastructure development based on existing facility distribution.
• Allocate educational resources by analyzing the density of facilities across regions.

Strengths

• Covers multiple facility types (schools, kindergartens, colleges, universities).
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON).
• Sourced from a widely-used, collaborative mapping platform (OpenStreetMap).

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; 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.
