The case concerned the education of Roma children who were restricted to attending a primary school in which the only pupils were other Roma children.
Held: Violation of Article 14 (prohibition of discrimination) in conjunction with Article 2 of Protocol No. 1 (right to education)
The Court found that the continuing nature of this situation and the State’s refusal to take anti-segregation measures implied discrimination and a breach of the right to education.
