Education Facilities in Namibia from OpenStreetMap

Namibia's education facilities exported from OpenStreetMap. The data includes schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities tagged via `amenity` or `building` keys. It was exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Map school access based on facility locations.
• Plan education resource allocation using the inventory of schools and universities.
• Analyze the distribution of educational infrastructure across Namibia.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped while remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
