According to the Court, the law’s legitimate purpose is to adapt teaching to the difficulties of a specific category of pupils, and psychological tests seem to be objective enough not to be suspected of racial bias. Moreover, the requirement of parents’ approval for placing children in special schools remains valid, while Roma children who were initially placed in those schools could have returned to mainstream schools later, and thus reintegrated into normal schooling.
由七名法官组成的欧洲人权法院审议庭根据这一假设并考虑到所要解决的案件于2006年2月作出了原告败诉的裁决，并且判定，有关特殊学校的法律并不是特别针对罗姆人的，并且不是仅仅适用于他们的。法庭认为，该法律合理的目的是为具有特殊困难的学生作出教学调节，并且，心理测试看上去是足够客观，并未牵涉到种族偏见。除此以外，将孩子安排到特殊学校需得到父母同意的要求依旧有效，而最初被排到这些学校的罗姆孩子稍后可以回到主流学校，因此重新融合到了正常教育之中。
