Education Facilities in Czechia from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for education facilities in Czechia, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities. The dataset is exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-15. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being more thoroughly mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Map school accessibility based on facility locations.
• Plan educational resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and kindergartens.
• Analyze the spatial distribution of higher education institutions (colleges and universities).

Strengths

• Covers multiple education facility types (schools, kindergartens, colleges, universities).
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON).
• Data is sourced from the collaborative OpenStreetMap project.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to OpenStreetMap, with potential gaps in remote areas.
