Education Facilities of Lebanon from OpenStreetMap

Lebanon's education facilities, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities, mapped via OpenStreetMap tags. The dataset was last updated on 2026-06-19 and is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT). Coverage reflects volunteer mapping activity and is likely more complete in urban areas.

Use Cases

• Map school access and catchment areas based on facility locations.
• Plan education resource allocation based on the spatial distribution of facilities.
• Analyze urban versus remote coverage gaps for infrastructure development.

Strengths

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

Limitations

• Coverage is dependent on volunteer mapper activity; remote areas may be sparse.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
