Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhary has said that according to Article-25 of the Constitution, free elementary education is the right of every child.
The court will ensure implementation of the abovementioned Article, he added.
A bench headed by the chief justice (CJ) held a hearing of the suo motu case regarding a school operating near a graveyard in Gujranwala.
The court showed dissatisfaction over the report presented by Sindh and Balochistan elaborating the conditions of schools.
The CJ remarked that the salaries of teachers who do not fulfill their responsibility of teaching must be withheld.
Additional secretary, Education department, told the bench that 121 schools in Noshehro, Ghotki, Sukkur, and Kherpur are occupied by law-enforcing agencies.
At this, the CJ asked which agencies were involved in occupation of these schools.
Justice Khilji Arif said that 70 percent schools in Balochistan do not have walls, 57 percent are deprived of electricity and water, while 50 percent schools have no building. The court demanded officials to present a report about the condition of government schools in the four provinces within three weeks.
