Description
This geospatial dataset provides locations and attributes of educational facilities across Vanuatu, exported from OpenStreetMap by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) in March 2026. It captures kindergartens, schools, colleges, and universities identified through specific 'amenity' and 'building' tags.
Use Cases
Spatial distribution analysis of schools using 'amenity' and 'addr:city' to identify regional service gaps
Infrastructure planning by filtering 'operator:type' to distinguish between public and private facilities
Linguistic mapping of educational institutions using 'name:en', 'name:fr', and 'name:bis' columns
Strengths
Multilingual support with name fields for English, French, and Bislama
Available in four GIS-ready formats: SHP, GEOJSON, GEOPACKAGE, and KML
Standardized OSM tagging schema for 'amenity' and 'building' types
