Education Facilities in Eritrea from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data on education facilities in Eritrea, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities. The dataset is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated in June 2026. 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 resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and colleges.
• Analyze the density of education infrastructure in urban versus remote areas.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Explicitly includes facilities tagged as `amenity` or `building`.

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.
