Use Cases

• Map school access and proximity based on facility locations.
• Plan education resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and universities.
• Analyze the completeness of educational infrastructure mapping in urban versus remote areas.

Strengths

• Explicitly includes multiple education facility types (schools, kindergartens, colleges, universities).
• Sourced from a well-known collaborative mapping project (OpenStreetMap).

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.
