Education Facilities in the Marshall Islands from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data on schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities in the Marshall Islands. The dataset is built by volunteer mappers and its completeness likely varies, with urban areas being better mapped than remote ones. It was last updated on 2026-05-14 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Map school access based on the geolocation of education facilities.
• Plan education infrastructure development based on the distribution of existing schools and colleges.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.
• Includes multiple facility types tagged via `amenity` or `building` keys.
