The Ministry is going to collect, through the Center for Education and Human Resource Development, details from across the country about the land registered in the names of community schools and learning centres, the land use status, and the kind of problems related to the land.

Minister of Education, Science and Technology Mahabir Pun stated that he has instructed the Center to collect details of the land belonging to schools and learning centres as information has been received from the districts about the encroachment upon and misappropriation of land of schools and learning centres.
