A Doctrinal Analysis of Right to Education via Legislative and Judicial Discourse in Pakistan

Abstract

    Education is condition sine qua non for the development of a country. Therefore, international human rights law emphasizes the right to education with its categorical implementation throughout the globe.The constitutional backing in Pakistan was a principle of policy (Article 37) initially which was later on supplemented by the eighteenth Amendment. The Amendment not only recognizes the right to education but devolves its implementation to the provinces as well. Since the last decade, various legislation have been made on the federal and provincial levels. The study investigates these legislative measures with an evolutionary backdrop of the efforts, while the detailed analysis on the availability of the right to education in the country shows a few vagueness's and implementing lacunae. Hence, it strongly recommends the enhancement of financial support and eradication of administrative constraints to provide this fundamental right.
