Italy’s Meloni Plans Burqa and Niqab Ban in Schools, Foreign Student Cap

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni says her government will soon present measures that would ban burqas and niqabs in schools and introduce a limit on the number of foreign students allowed in each classroom. The proposal also includes compulsory Italian-language lessons for parents of foreign students facing serious integration difficulties. The measures are being presented by the government as part of a broader approach to integration and education, but the proposals have already generated political debate in Italy.
