Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced plans to implement a ban on face coverings, specifically the burqa and niqab, within the country's school system. In addition to the dress code restrictions, the government intends to introduce a cap on the number of foreign students permitted in individual classrooms. These measures were unveiled during a youth event organized by Meloni’s political party.

The proposal is being presented as part of the administration's right-wing agenda. The initiative aims to regulate both the cultural expression of students and the demographic composition of classrooms, marking a significant shift in Italian educational policy regarding integration and national identity.
