Romanian Education Facilities from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Romanian education facilities includes schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exports this data, which was last updated in May 2026. Completeness of the map data varies by region, with urban areas likely being more complete than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Map school accessibility based on facility locations.
• Plan education resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and universities.
• Analyze the density of educational amenities in different regions of Romania.

Strengths

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

Limitations

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