Education Facilities in Belize from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data on education facilities across Belize, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities. The dataset was last updated on 2026-06-26 and is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. Coverage likely reflects areas where volunteer mappers have been active, potentially resulting in urban bias.

Use Cases

• Map school access and catchment areas based on facility locations.
• Plan education resource allocation using the geospatial distribution of facilities.
• Analyze urban versus remote coverage of educational infrastructure based on mapper activity.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Coverage may be sparse in remote areas, as it reflects volunteer mapper activity.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
