Education Facilities in Guyana from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data on education facilities across Guyana includes schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exported this data, which was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Map school access and catchment areas based on facility locations.
• Plan education infrastructure development based on the distribution of existing facilities.
• Allocate educational resources by analyzing the density and types of institutions in different regions.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• The dataset is derived from a well-known, collaborative mapping source (OpenStreetMap).
• It was last updated on 2026-05-14, suggesting recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region, with remote areas potentially being poorly mapped.
