Kazakhstan Education Facilities from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports from 2026-03-03 include all mapped education facilities in Kazakhstan. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled features tagged as kindergartens, schools, colleges, or universities. Features likely contain attributes such as name, address, capacity, and operator type.

Use Cases

• Map the spatial distribution of schools and universities based on OpenStreetMap tags.
• Analyze facility capacity and operator types for regional education planning.
• Geocode education facility addresses for service area analysis.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, KML).
• Includes multilingual name attributes (name:en, name:kk, name:ru).
• Explicitly includes four types of education facilities (kindergarten, school, college, university).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-03-03).
