Education Facilities of Chad from OpenStreetMap

Chad's education facilities, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities, tagged via OpenStreetMap's `amenity` or `building` keys. The data is sourced from OpenStreetMap and exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT), last updated on 2026-06-22. Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity, with urban areas typically better represented than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Map school access and proximity based on facility locations.
• Plan education infrastructure development based on existing facility distribution.
• Allocate educational resources by analyzing the density and type of facilities.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Includes multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, KML, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Explicitly tags facilities using the standardized `amenity` and `building` keys.

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.
