The specific needs of minors, in particular with regard to respect for the child’s right to education and access to health care should be taken into account. Minor children of applicants and applicants who are minors should be granted the same access to education as Member States’ own nationals and under similar conditions. That access need not be provided during school holidays. Their education should, as a rule, be integrated with that of Member States’ own nationals and be of the same quality. Member States should also ensure the continuity of the education of minors for so long as an expulsion measure against them or their parents is not enforced.
