Yemen Education Facilities from OpenStreetMap

Education facilities in Yemen, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities, tagged via OpenStreetMap's `amenity` or `building` keys. The data is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-06-24. Coverage reflects where volunteer mappers have been active, with urban areas likely being better represented than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Map school access for vulnerable populations based on the geolocated facility data.
• Plan education infrastructure and resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and universities.
• Cross-check and validate local field knowledge of education facilities using the volunteered geographic information.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Facilities are explicitly tagged via the `amenity` or `building` keys.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Coverage is uneven, with urban areas likely being well represented and remote areas sparse.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
