Education Facilities in Cameroon from OpenStreetMap

Cameroon's education facilities exported from OpenStreetMap. The data includes schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities tagged via `amenity` or `building` keys. It was last updated on 2026-05-14 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT).

Use Cases

• Map school access and catchment areas based on facility locations.
• Plan education resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and universities.
• Analyze infrastructure density for different education levels (kindergarten to university).

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Explicitly includes facilities tagged as both `amenity` and `building` for comprehensive coverage.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, remote areas may be incomplete.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
