Enseignement : dénombrement et caractéristiques des équipementsEducation: count and characteristics of facilities
This API provides data from the French national statistics institute INSEE on educational facilities in France, including nursery schools, primary and secondary schools, and other teaching establishments. It offers counts and capacity figures broken down by facility type and by geographic level, drawing on INSEE's permanent database of facilities (BPE). The data supports analysis of the territorial distribution and provision of educational infrastructure across French municipalities, departments, and regions, and can be used for planning, research, or comparative studies of local service coverage.Dénombrement et capacité des équipements dans le domaine de l'enseignement par type d'équipement et par niveau géographique.
