Education Facilities in Botswana from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data provides a volunteer-contributed map of schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities in Botswana. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote areas. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exported this data, which was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Map school access and proximity based on facility locations.
• Plan education resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and universities.
• Analyze the geographic coverage of educational amenities like kindergartens and colleges.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a free and collaborative global mapping project.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, but 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.
