Education Facilities in Guatemala from OpenStreetMap

Education facilities across Guatemala, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities, extracted from OpenStreetMap. The data is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated in May 2026. Completeness of the map data varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote areas.

Use Cases

• Map school access and catchment areas based on facility locations.
• Plan education resource allocation based on the spatial distribution of schools and universities.
• Cross-reference facility data with other demographic or infrastructure datasets for regional planning.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative, and widely used global map.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete and require field verification.
