Education Facilities of Cuba from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data contains education facilities across Cuba, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities tagged via `amenity` or `building` keys. The dataset is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-06-27. Coverage reflects where volunteer mappers have been active, with urban areas typically well-represented and remote areas potentially sparse.

Use Cases

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

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Facilities are explicitly tagged using the standardized `amenity` or `building` keys.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

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