The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, upholding the lower court's decision that the father must pay his child's education expenses. The student received a monthly scholarship from the sickness insurance fund specifically designed to rehabilitate the patient and prevent future disability. The court ruled that this social benefit does not exempt the father from his legal obligation under the Act on Maintenance of Children to contribute to educational costs.
