Education Facilities in Mozambique from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data provides locations of education facilities in Mozambique, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities. The dataset is contributed by volunteer mappers and is hosted by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT). It was last updated on 2026-06-19.

Use Cases

• Map school access based on facility locations.
• Plan education infrastructure based on the distribution of existing facilities.
• Allocate resources by analyzing the geographic coverage of schools and universities.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Facilities are tagged via established OSM keys `amenity` or `building`.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

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