Italy Plans to Ban Face-Covering Clothing in Schools and Limit Foreign Students per Class
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced plans to ban face-covering clothing in schools and impose limits on the number of foreign students in a single classroom. Speaking at an event for her Fratelli d'Italia party, Meloni also proposed mandatory Italian language classes for parents of migrant children to facilitate integration. These measures reflect the government's focus on migration, a key election topic in Italy where hundreds of thousands of migrants arrive annually by boat.
