After a comprehensive analysis of the European and international legal framework of the right to education, particularly dealing with positive obligations, the paper evaluate different practices of integration (or non-integration) of foreign students into primary and secondary school in Europe, assessing their conformity with human right obligations of states. Particula attention is payed to the role of human rights courts and bodies.
