Education Facilities in Kyrgyzstan from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data on education facilities in Kyrgyzstan, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-14 and is exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. It is useful for mapping school access, planning education services, and allocating resources.

Use Cases

• Map school access and catchment areas based on facility locations.
• Plan education service distribution based on the density of schools and kindergartens.
• Allocate resources for education infrastructure using geospatial data on colleges and universities.

Strengths

• Covers multiple education facility types: schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats: GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON.
• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.

Limitations

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