Gupta mentioned that the private schools which are functioning for the last more than ten years are facing problems in obtaining recognition up to Class 8th due to conditions put by the Fee Fixation Committee (FFC) in which all CEOs / DIET have been directed to collect the details of fee from 2014 to 2017.
