Education Facilities in Singapore from OpenStreetMap

Education facilities in Singapore, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities, exported from OpenStreetMap. The data is contributed by volunteers and maintained by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, with a last recorded update in May 2026. Completeness of the map data varies by region, with urban areas likely being more detailed than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Map school accessibility based on the locations of tagged education facilities.
• Analyze the spatial distribution of educational institutions for planning purposes.
• Allocate educational resources by identifying areas with high or low facility density.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Covers multiple types of education facilities (schools, kindergartens, colleges, universities).
• Sourced from a well-known, collaborative mapping project (OpenStreetMap).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness of the data varies by region, with potential gaps in remote areas.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
