Education Facilities of Belgium from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities across Belgium. The dataset is created by volunteer mappers and is useful for mapping access to education. It was last updated on 2026-06-26 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Map school access based on facility locations.
• Plan education infrastructure based on existing facility density.
• Allocate resources by analyzing the geographic distribution of educational buildings.

Strengths

• Includes multiple facility types: schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats: GEOPACKAGE, SHP, KML, and GEOJSON.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.

Limitations

• Coverage is uneven, with urban areas well-represented and remote areas potentially sparse.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
