Sri Lankan Education Facilities from OpenStreetMap

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

Use Cases

• Map school access and catchment areas based on facility locations.
• Plan education resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and universities.
• Analyze the completeness of educational infrastructure mapping in urban versus remote areas.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded as 2026-05-14 17:42:57.554018.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to OpenStreetMap, with urban areas likely better mapped than remote regions.
