Accordingly, matric schools were given recognition only if they had ample space and ventilation facilities. After the inspection of concern officials once in every three years, the recognition of primary and nursery schools were renewed.

The state comprises of 66 education districts totally. So far, parents do not have any authentic source to verify details of recognition and other details concerning private schools. As a result many parents struggle to find proper schools and ultimately land up admitting their child in an unauthorised bogus schools.
