Philippines Education Facility Locations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for educational facilities in the Philippines, including kindergartens, schools, colleges, and universities. The dataset is an export from the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated on 2026-03 03. Features may include names, addresses, capacity, and operator type.

Use Cases

• Map school locations and service areas based on the geospatial coordinates and address fields.
• Analyze facility capacity distribution based on the 'capacity:persons' attribute.
• Identify public versus private operators based on the 'operator:type' field.
• Study multilingual naming conventions for facilities using the 'name', 'name:en', and 'name:fil' tags.

Strengths

• Data includes multiple educational facility types (kindergarten, school, college, university).
• Features may include multilingual names and physical addresses.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats (GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, KML).
• Explicitly licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL-1.0).

Limitations

• Row count and total dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic or contributor bias inherent to OpenStreetMap's crowdsourced nature.
