Education Facilities of Czechia from OpenStreetMap

Czechia's education facilities, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities, tagged via OpenStreetMap's `amenity` or `building` keys. The data is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-06-27. Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity, with urban areas likely better represented than remote regions.

Use Cases

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

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Includes multiple facility types: schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats: GEOPACKAGE, SHP, KML, GEOJSON, JSON.

Limitations

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