Education data

Education data describes schools, colleges and universities: who they are, where they are, how many students they enroll and what outcomes they achieve. Edtech companies, publishers, recruiters, real estate firms, investors, researchers and public bodies use it for sales targeting, market sizing, location planning and policy research.

Typical fields

• Institution ID, name, type and level
• Address, coordinates and district or catchment
• Public or private status and governing body
• Aggregated enrollment by grade or program
• Staff counts and student-to-staff ratio
• Programs, courses and accreditation
• Outcome measures such as completion rates or inspection results, where published

Sources and collection

Most data originates with education ministries, statistical agencies, accreditation bodies and inspectorates, which publish institution registers and aggregated statistics. Providers combine these with institution websites, keep identifiers stable across years, and fill gaps such as program lists or contacts for institutional roles.

Delivery and pricing

Delivered as files, cloud shares or APIs. Directory-style datasets are usually licensed per country or region each year; contact data for institutional roles is often priced per record.

Before you buy

• Check that all student information is aggregated; data about children under 16 is not allowed on DataStoa.
• Ask how often institution registers are refreshed and closures removed.
• Confirm that identifiers stay consistent across years.
• Check outcome definitions, which vary by country and level.
• Review the permitted uses of any staff contact details.
