Zambian Education Facilities from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Zambian education facilities, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exported this data, which was last updated on 2026-05-15. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being more thoroughly mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Map school access based on facility locations.
• Plan education resource allocation based on the distribution of facilities.
• Analyze the density of educational institutions across different regions.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• It was last updated on 2026-05-15.

Limitations

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