Education Facilities in Egypt from OpenStreetMap

Egypt's educational infrastructure is mapped in this dataset, which includes features tagged as kindergartens, schools, colleges, and universities from OpenStreetMap. It was created by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and last updated on 2026-03-03. The data likely contains attributes such as name, address, capacity, and operator type.

Use Cases

• Map the spatial distribution of schools and universities based on the listed amenity and building tags.
• Analyze the capacity of educational facilities based on the capacity:persons attribute.
• Identify public versus private institutions based on the operator:type field.
• Geocode addresses of educational facilities using the addr:full and addr:city attributes.

Strengths

• Includes multiple educational facility types (kindergarten, school, college, university).
• Provides attributes for name, address, capacity, and operator type.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, KML).
• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative mapping project.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic or contributor bias inherent to OpenStreetMap.
