Education Facilities in Mozambique from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for education facilities across Mozambique, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities. The dataset is an export by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness of the map data varies by region, with urban areas likely being more complete than remote areas.

Use Cases

• Map school access and proximity based on facility locations.
• Plan education infrastructure development based on the distribution of existing facilities.
• Allocate educational resources using the geospatial inventory of schools and universities.
• Cross-reference OSM facility data with local field knowledge for validation.

Strengths

• Includes multiple facility types (schools, kindergartens, colleges, universities).
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON).
• Sourced from the collaborative OpenStreetMap project.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
