Education Facilities in the Central African Republic from OpenStreetMap

Central African Republic 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 based on geospatial location of facilities.
• Plan education resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and universities.
• Analyze education infrastructure coverage using tagged amenity and building data.

Strengths

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

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.
