Education Facilities in Bhutan from OpenStreetMap

Education facilities in Bhutan sourced from OpenStreetMap. The data includes schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities tagged via `amenity` or `building` keys. It was last updated on 2026-05-14 and is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Map school access and catchment areas based on facility locations.
• Plan education resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and colleges.
• Analyze the spatial distribution of different education facility types (e.g., kindergartens vs. universities).

Strengths

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

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.
