Abstract
Educational services are among the most important services provided to the population, as they are basic human needs، and through them, civilization can be built and social progress and development achieved. Therefore, it has been necessary to conduct a study on the spatial analysis of educational services in the Daratu area, as education is an integrated system of work with interconnected elements that play complementary roles.
The aim of the study is to determine the distribution of educational services and their levels of efficiency relative to the local population. For this purpose, the study is divided into three main sections. The first section presents the study's theoretical framework and the distribution of educational services. In the second section, the study conducted an analysis of the location of educational services in the city. The third section assesses the functional efficiency of educational services.
