Education Facilities in Burkina Faso from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data on education facilities in Burkina Faso, last updated 2026-05-14. It includes schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities tagged via `amenity` or `building`. The data is exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and is useful for mapping and planning.

Use Cases

• Map school access and proximity based on geolocated facility data.
• Plan education resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and universities.
• Analyze the completeness of educational infrastructure mapping in urban versus remote areas.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Explicitly lists the OSM tagging keys (`amenity`, `building`) used for feature identification.

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.
