The right to education of a child under Article 2 of Protocol 1 of the Convention, was not breached by an order enforcing immigration control with the effect of taking away from a good school a child who had become settled there. The Convention gave no right to an education in any particular country, and it would be invidious to try to compare different education systems. Non-absolute human rights are not engaged when a country deals with such issues as immigration control. Having taken account of the child’s education in making his decision, that decision could not be faulted for this reason.
