It's correct, but you might prefer to put it at the end if you don't want to emphasise it. Now can be placed in three positions: Now he is reading a book. He is now reading a book.

Thanks, CB.
1. Now, there is no school in our country that does not have a computer lab.
2. There is no school in our country that does not have a computer lab now.
3. There is no school in our country that now does not have a computer lab.
Do you mean that they have the same meaning? Thanks in advance.

I didn't say that. There are two clauses in your sentence: There is no school in our country and that does not have a computer lab. The meaning may change depending on the position of now. Now can be placed in either clause in the three positions I mentioned.
