Europe2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported33m ago
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has announced plans to introduce a new government measure aimed at capping the number of foreign pupils in classrooms and banning the wearing of burqas and niqabs in Italian schools. The policy initiative was revealed during an address to the youth wing of her nationalist conservative party.
According to Meloni, the proposed restrictions are rooted in the expectation that anyone coming to Italy to build a future must learn the national language, understand the local culture, and respect established rules. The measures combine educational enrollment limits for foreign students with restrictions on specific religious face coverings within school environments.
