Use Cases

• Map school accessibility based on facility locations.
• Plan education infrastructure development based on existing facility distribution.
• Allocate educational resources using the geospatial dataset of schools and universities.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• The dataset is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• It was last updated on 2026-05-14 16:49:05.984887.

Limitations

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