DESCRIPTION:In many countries\, access to schooling is one of the key measu
 res of performance of the education system. It is not always known how lon
 g learners walk to school\, even if the buffer distance is set by policy. 
 GISPO teamed up with the UNESCO International Institute of Educational Pla
 nning (IIEP) to study the problem.\n\n\nThe result is a new QGIS plugin (
 “Catchment”) which allows easily calculating catchment areas based on 
 travel time (isochrones)\, for all schools across a whole territory. The p
 lugin uses the open source Graphhopper routing server and OpenStreetMap da
 ta across the globe. This allows us to easily find out how many people liv
 e e.g. 15\, 30 or 60 minutes away from education in different parts of a c
 ountry. \n\nFurther\, the development of the plugin triggered a campaign o
 f local OpenStreetMap mapping in Madagascar\, which was one of the first c
 ountries to pilot the plugin. Having more roads mapped on OpenStreetMap ha
 s an impact far beyond educational planning.\n\nNaturally\, the same plugi
 n may also be used for calculating all kinds of service catchment areas in
  QGIS\; it was also employed to e.g. calculate access to rail transit acro
 ss Helsinki metropolitan region.

DESCRIPTION:The presentation will share how UNESCO’s International Instit
 ute for Educational Planning (IIEP) applies FOSS4G technologies to advance
  Ministries of Education’s use of geospatial data in planning better edu
 cational results among school children. Our work here at the IIEP-UNESCO i
 s to design tools for educational planners all around the world\, and FOSS
 4G has been the cornerstone of our work. \n\nEducational planners are the 
 professionals who work in Ministries of Education –in district offices o
 r in the central office-- that are tasked with designing the best possible
  strategies and interventions to make sure that all learners will get good
  quality access to relevant and efficient educational services. For decade
 s\, planners have been using geospatial insights with minimal computing ca
 pacity and- to be honest- very little spatial data.\n\nOver the last few y
 ears\, we have been completely refurbishing the methods and the data that 
 we use as planners\, and working with the FOSS4G community has been instru
 mental in fulfilling our mission.\nThis talk is about sharing concrete app
 lications and use cases of geospatial data in educational planning. For ex
 ample\, we spatialize the number of students that will enrol in each grade
  in different communities\, we plan for the training\, recruitment\, deplo
 yment\, and retention of the teaching staff\, we lead suitability analyses
  to check where to best build a new school or where to refurbish existing 
 ones. \n\nSo in this presentation we will show you examples of application
  of tools and methodologies all built on FOSS:\n   -	Spatialized school-ag
 e populations in Jamaica\n   -	Routing optimization of inspection circuits
  in Finland\n   -	Geographically-weighted regressions for improving learni
 ng in Colombia\n   -	School infrastructure and natural hazard risk model i
 n Indonesia\n   -	Sea level rise and historical floods in Viet Nam \n   -	
 School catchment areas based on travel time (check out the presentation su
 bmitted by Riku Oja from GISPO\, it’s our joint work!) \n\nAs an institu
 tion here at IIEP we have sought to advance this line of work by (1) makin
 g a complete switch to free and open source software (FOSS) and open acces
 s documentation and data sources (OpenScience)\, (2) bringing geospatial a
 pproaches and big\, small\, and thick data\, to update EDplanning processe
 s\, (3) creating technical partnerships with instances such as GISPO\, UNO
 SAT\, among others\, and (4) collaborating on informing education policy-m
 aking with geospatial insights.\n\nThis talk is an invitation to all geosp
 atial data geeks to join us in shaping the future of educational planning.
