Morocco Education Facilities: Multilingual OSM Data for Schools and Universities

Morocco educational infrastructure data extracted from OpenStreetMap by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) in March 2026. It catalogs facilities from kindergartens to universities across the country, including spatial coordinates and administrative attributes.

Use Cases

• Mapping educational access by filtering the 'amenity' column for schools and universities
• Analyzing regional school capacity using the 'capacity:persons' field
• Identifying private vs public institutions via the 'operator:type' tag

Strengths

• Multilingual support with Arabic and Berber name tags
• Available in 6 export formats including SHP, KML, and GeoJSON
• Specific categorization of education levels from kindergarten to university

Limitations

• Crowdsourced data may have uneven geographic coverage favoring urban areas
• Inconsistent population of capacity and operator metadata
