According to the Land Management Law, educational land, as a kind of construction land, needs to be approved by relevant departments if it is to be converted into cultivated land, which meets the requirements of land use planning and environmental protection. Because the educational land is usually located in the planning area of a city or town, it does not conform to the development planning of the city or town, and is not conducive to the construction and development of educational facilities. Therefore, educational land cannot be changed into farmland at will, but it can be changed into farmland.

Educational land belongs to the category of construction land, which refers to the land used to build educational facilities such as schools, kindergartens and training institutions.
