Education Facilities in Burkina Faso from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data on education facilities in Burkina Faso, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities. The dataset is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-06-20. Coverage reflects volunteer mapping activity and may be sparse in remote areas.

Use Cases

• Map school accessibility based on geospatial location of facilities.
• Plan education resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and universities.
• Analyze urban-rural disparities in education infrastructure coverage.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Includes multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, KML, GEOJSON, JSON).
• License is ODbL-1.0, a well-known open data license.

Limitations

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