Education Facilities in Zimbabwe from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for education facilities in Zimbabwe, 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 better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Map school access and proximity based on geospatial point data.
• Plan education resource allocation based on the distribution of facilities.
• Analyze the density of educational institutions in different regions.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Explicitly includes four types of education facilities: schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, remote areas may be incomplete.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
