Education Facilities in Eritrea from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide locations of education facilities in Eritrea, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data, which was last updated on 2026-05-15. Completeness likely varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Map school access based on the geographic locations of education facilities.
• Plan education infrastructure based on the distribution of schools and universities.
• Allocate resources for education based on the density and types of facilities.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Completeness varies by region, with remote areas potentially incomplete.
