Every school in Nepal
The complete national registry, 37,028 schools across 7 provinces, 77 districts and 753 local governments, obtained from the government under the Right to Information Act and published here in full, searchable down to your own palika.
The finding
Private schooling is a geography, not a level
Nationally, one school in four is private. But the average hides the country: in Madhesh nearly four in ten schools are private, in Karnali barely one in ten, nearly four times the share. These are counts of schools, not of pupils. Tap a province to drill to its districts and palikas.

Source and method
This registry was provided by the Centre for Education and Human Resource Development (CEHRD) in response to a Nepal Next request under the Right to Information Act 2064, dated 28 July 2026. We publish it exactly as received: 1,027 entries share a name with another school in the same palika (often the same name in different wards) and 5 entries arrived without a school type. We have asked CEHRD to clarify these rather than guess. District names are shown per Nepal Next's register where CEHRD spelling differs.
