Italy to limit foreign students, ban burqa and hijab in schools

 In a bold move, Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni unveiled new regulations for schools, prohibiting face coverings such as burqas and niqabs in classrooms. The initiative also sets a limit on foreign students per class and requires parents of foreign students to learn Italian, promoting integration and ensuring that Italian children feel at home, rather than a minority in their own schools. In a bold move, Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni unveiled new regulations for schools, prohibiting face coverings such as burqas and niqabs in classrooms.
