Education Facilities in Myanmar from OpenStreetMap for Access Mapping

Education facilities in Myanmar, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities, tagged via OpenStreetMap's `amenity` or `building` keys. The dataset is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-06-19. Coverage reflects volunteer mapping activity, with urban areas likely better represented than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Map school access for demographic analysis based on facility locations.
• Plan education resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and universities.
• Analyze urban-rural disparities in education infrastructure based on described coverage patterns.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Includes multiple facility types: schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats: GEOPACKAGE, SHP, GEOJSON, and JSON.

Limitations

• Coverage is described as potentially sparse in remote areas, reflecting volunteer mapper activity.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
